Ankle dislocation fracture sequela

If the patient with ankle dislocation fracture is not treated in time, it is likely to lead to the following sequelae. The first is secondary osteoarthritis, because the joint dislocation fracture is likely to damage the ligaments around the joint and cause joint stability deterioration. When the patient performs strenuous exercise, it is often accompanied by symptoms of ankle swelling and pain. In the long run, it is likely to induce arthritis. The second common sequela is ischemic osteonecrosis, because if the fracture is not reduced in time, it is likely to affect the local blood supply, resulting in a lack of blood nutrients in the tissue to induce ischemic osteonecrosis.
