The area over the fracture is usually swollen and painful. Swelling and pain may spread to other regions if the fracture soft tissue bruising.
Broken bones in and around the ankle most often occurs when the ankle rotates so that the foot is turned out or rotate the ankle outwards. Pain, swelling and bleeding tends to occur.

For fractures ankle weight, where the bones are far apart or one stick, surgery may be needed.
Metatarsal bone fractures (bone mid-foot) often occur. The most frequent cause is too much running or excessive use causes stress indirectly. Other cause is the great impact that occurs suddenly. To allow for bone healing, then do mobilizations with hard sole shoes. If the bones are very far apart, may be needed surgery to straighten the pieces of a broken bone.
