How To Reduce an Ankle Dislocation
Aftercare for Ankle Dislocation Reduction
Successful reduction is preliminarily confirmed by visible restoration of a normal calcaneal contour and by decreased pain. Do a post-procedure neurovascular examination. A post-procedure neurovascular deficit warrants emergency orthopedic evaluation. Apply a long leg posterior splint with 90° of foot dorsiflexion along with a stirrup splint to provide additional stability. Do post-procedure x-rays to confirm proper reduction and identify any previously unidentified fractures. Keep the limb elevated and check for neurovascular deficits and development of Compartment Syndrome in consultation with an orthopedic surgeon. Arrange orthopedic follow-up.
