How Can I Know if My Ankle Injury with Swelling Involves No Bone Issues?

1. Whether there are bone issues after a sprain and swelling can be determined through symptoms, signs, and examinations. Further treatment is needed in case of a fracture.

2. After a sprain, local soft tissue damage can lead to capillary rupture, causing some tissue fluid to leak out. At this time, patients will experience swelling and pain. If the sprain is too severe, it may lead to bone damage. Bone damage caused by general sprains usually has symptoms such as severe pain and bone deformation. If there are no such symptoms and no fracture is present, special treatment is usually not required.

3. If it is uncertain whether there is a fracture after a sprain, one should also go to the hospital for relevant examinations. CT images can help understand and clearly visualize the internal bones. If the examination reveals no morphological changes in the bones and no bone damage, patients still need treatment and improvement for local swelling to avoid affecting motor function.

4. Be cautious during exercise and avoid dangerous movements. After a sprain, take more rest to avoid aggravation of redness and swelling.
