Surgery for an ankle fracture is often recommended when the injury is severe, unstable, or involves misaligned bones. Here are the key reasons why surgery might be the best option.
1. Proper Bone Alignment - Ankle fractures can cause bones to shift out of place. Surgery ensures that the bones are properly realigned using screws, plates, or rods, which helps in correct healing.
2. Faster Recovery & Mobility - Surgical fixation provides stability, allowing for early weight-bearing and rehabilitation. This helps prevent long-term stiffness and improves mobility.
3. Lower Risk of Improper Healing - Non-surgical treatment may lead to bones healing in the wrong position (malunion), causing chronic pain, deformity, or arthritis. Surgery minimizes these risks by ensuring precise alignment.
4. Prevents Future Complications - Untreated or poorly healed fractures may lead to instability, weakness, and post-traumatic arthritis. Surgery helps restore full function and reduces long-term issues.
5. Necessary for Complex Fractures - Severe fractures, such as those involving multiple bone breaks, joint involvement, or open wounds, often require surgery to prevent long-term disability.
