2. Cold compression therapy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_compression_therapy

   Literature suggests that compression therapy use for perioperative ankle fractures will be beneficial for edema reduction and therefore, will probably be beneficial for pain and ankle joint mobility as well. [5] Post operative arthroscopic surgeries also shows significant recovery with cold compression. [6]

3. Ankle problems - Wikipedia

   Most ankle sprains are lateral sprains that occur when the foot rolls, causing the side of the ankle to be pressed to the ground. [7] Small blood vessels rupture in the process and cause the ankle to swell [ 4 ] and damage may also occur to the ligaments, these constituting a short band of tough, flexible, fibrous connective tissues holding the ...

4. Soft tissue injury - Wikipedia

   Depending on the severity of the sprain, the movement on the joint can be compromised since ligaments aid in the stability and support of joints. Sprains are commonly seen in vulnerable areas such as the wrists, knees and ankles. They can occur from movements such as falling on an outstretched hand or a twisting of the ankle or foot. [2]

5. High ankle sprain - Wikipedia

   The ankle joint consists of the talus resting within the mortise created by the tibia and fibula as previously described. Since the talus is wider anteriorly (in the front) than posteriorly (at the back), as the front of the foot is raised (dorsiflexed) reducing the angle between the foot and lower leg to less than 90°, then the mortise is confronted with an increasingly wider talus.

6. Compression stockings - Wikipedia

   They also aid in the treatment of ulcers of the lower legs. Unlike traditional dress or athletic stockings and socks, compression stockings use stronger elastics to create significant pressure on the legs, ankles and feet. Compression stockings are tightest at the ankles and gradually become less constrictive toward the knees and thighs.

7. RICE (medicine) - Wikipedia

   It was considered a first-aid treatment rather than a cure and aimed to control inflammation. [2] It was thought that the reduction in pain and swelling that occurred as a result of decreased inflammation helped with healing. [1] The protocol was often used to treat sprains, strains, cuts, bruises, and other similar injuries. [3]
