The role of ankle joint support

If the Achilles tendon is ruptured or incompletely ruptured, and other ligaments and other soft tissues are severely damaged, the joint angle may need to be adjusted in the later stage of the external fixation. At this time, wearing an adjustable brace will avoid the risk of removing the external fixation. It can also perform functional exercises early to prevent the symptoms of joint stiffness. Generally, ankle joint fractures and soft tissue injuries around the ankle joint require external fixation.

For fractures that do not require plaster external fixation and the fracture ends are relatively stable, a fully fixed ankle brace can be used for protection. For the ankle joint, prevent the movement of the ankle joint from causing fractures and dislocations caused by the traction of muscles and tendons. The fixation time generally needs to be determined according to the location and extent of the injury. There are generally two types of ankle-fixed braces, one is a fully fixed ankle brace, and the other is an adjustable ankle brace. Both have their own advantages and should be selected according to different situations. The right ankle joint support
