Many of you in the Philadelphia area remember Buster Posey, the Giants Catcher, who played a big role in unfortunately helping the Giants beat the Phillies in last years NLCS. Yesterday, while trying to block someone from running home, he broke his ankle. There are many different types of Ankle fractures as well as ways to treat them. Bone typically takes 6-8 weeks to heal. Some ankle fractures may need to be operated on to fix while others may need to be casted. If you have any type of ankle injury it is very important to be seen by your Podiatrist for an evaluation. If you continue to walk on a sprained or an injured ankle, you have a high chance of re-spraining the ankle. Initial treatment options consist of rest, ice, anti-inflammatory medicine, and compression. For more information please see our webpage.
