Ankle Fracture Care in Phoenix, Glendale, and Scottsdale, AZ 

An ankle fracture happens when one or more of the bones in your ankle break. This can occur from a fall, sports injury, car accident, or even a simple misstep. Whether it's a small hairline crack or a complete break, a fractured ankle can cause serious pain, swelling, bruising, and trouble walking. 

At On The Move Podiatry, we specialize in diagnosing and treating ankle fractures for patients in Phoenix, Glendale, and Scottsdale, AZ. Our experienced foot and ankle specialists understand that every injury is different, and we provide personalized care to help you heal quickly and safely. 

Common Signs of an Ankle Fracture: 

• Sudden ankle pain after an injury 

• Swelling and bruising 

• Difficulty standing or walking 

• Ankle looks out of place or deformed 

Treatment Options for Ankle Fractures: 

We offer a range of non-surgical and surgical treatment options based on the type and severity of your fracture: 

• Immobilization: For minor fractures, we may use a cast, splint, or walking boot to keep your ankle stable while it heals. 

• Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation (RICE): Helps reduce swelling and pain in the early stages. 

• Surgery: If the bones are misaligned or unstable, surgery may be needed to realign and secure the bones using plates, screws, or pins. 

• Rehabilitation: Physical therapy and rehab exercises are often recommended to restore strength, mobility, and balance after healing. 

Our goal is to help you recover fully and return to your regular activities with confidence. If you think you may have an ankle fracture, don’t wait—early diagnosis and treatment are key to preventing long-term complications.
