Medical Minute - Fractured Ankles with Dr. Alex Simpson
Treatment & Care Options
-
Urgent Evaluation: Dr. Simpson warns against ignoring persistent ankle pain, as untreated fractures can cause long-term walking disabilities or arthritis. Walk-in clinics like CSOG Express Care allow same-day X-rays and evaluations without long wait times.
-
Non-Surgical vs. Surgical: Fractures that remain properly aligned can be managed conservatively using a boot, brace, or cast. Bones that have shifted out of position require surgery to realign.
