Acute pain management
Open fractures require immediate IV antibiotics and urgent surgical washout
Neurovascular compromise from fracture requires emergent reduction and/or orthopedic intervention
Consider risk for compartment syndrome
Sprains and non-displaced fractures:
Non-weightbearing splint with ortho follow up (most managed with cast x 6 weeks)
Posterior Ankle Splint
Displaced fractures:
Emergent ortho consult
When diagnosed appropriately, patients who undergo open reduction and internal fixation of fractures have superior outcomes to those with purely ligamentous injury.
