Dislocated Ankle Treatment in Turkey

A dislocated ankle is a severe orthopedic injury where the bones of the ankle joint (the tibia, fibula, and talus) are forced out of their normal alignment. This traumatic injury often involves significant ligament damage and sometimes fractures. Treatment by an orthopedic specialist begins with a prompt reduction (realignment) of the joint, which is typically performed under sedation or anesthesia to manage pain and relax the muscles. Following reduction, the ankle is immobilized in a cast or boot to allow the damaged ligaments and any fractures to heal. In complex cases with associated fractures or unstable ligaments, surgical intervention may be required to restore stability and alignment using plates, screws, or other fixation devices. The primary goals are to restore joint function, prevent long-term complications like arthritis or chronic instability, and facilitate a return to normal activities.
