After a fall from height with ankle swelling, a fracture or severe ligament injury is suspected, which is why plaster immobilization is advised. It is important to keep the leg elevated, avoid weight-bearing, and monitor for increasing pain, swelling, or numbness in the toes. Usually plaster is kept for 3–6 weeks, depending on the injury seen on X-ray. A follow-up visit and repeat X-ray may be needed to assess healing.
