Ankle FAQs

What will Dr. Manning do to diagnose my ankle problem?

We use a variety of methods to diagnose your specific ankle problem, including a physical exam, X-rays, and even a CT scan or MRI.

Will I have to have surgery?

Dr. Manning will do a full exam to determine your specific injury and will advise you of procedures indicated as well as their risks, benefits and alternatives. If surgery is required, you will likely be able to have this done as an outpatient procedure and will be asked to elevate the affected leg for the first twenty-four hours after surgery and intermittently apply ice to the area to reduce swelling and pain. You may be given support devices, including crutches, to use after surgery while you heal.

What kind of rehabilitation will I need? How long will it take? Will it relieve my pain?

The answers to these questions vary depending on each individual. Many times physical therapy will be instituted following any surgical procedure. The doctor will fully discuss with you what options are available for your treatment and recovery, and any restrictions such as non-weight bearing or no driving that will be required. In the case of a broken bone, healing usually takes at least six weeks. There are many options available for treating pain, all of which will be discussed at your consultation.
