After a foot fracture, proper sleeping position is important to promote fracture healing, generally including supine position, lateral position, etc.
1. Supine position
This is the most recommended position because supine position keeps the injured foot relatively still and reduces unnecessary movement and stress. You can raise the injured foot pad and use a pillow or pillow to support it to help reduce swelling.
2. Lateral position
If you must lie on your side, make sure the injured foot is on top and slightly raised. You can use a pillow or pillow to support the injured foot and knee to reduce
stress and swelling.
