Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
my 12 year old son fractured his ankle in his growth plate yesterday. the er doctor said it was a salter harris type 1 fracture. my son is complaining his heel is burning . Is this normal? Also, do all ankle fractures require manipulation and/or surgery? Thank you
Hi...usually ankle is deemed as a weight bearing joint and most of them will require a surgery and wiring keeping in view the future stability of the joint. Heel burning could be a stretched nerve because of the fracture. I suggest you get in touch with your paediatrician regarding this. Regards - Dr. Sumanth
