Ankle (malleolus) fracture - PiedRéseau Rive-Sud
PiedRéseau Rive-Sud offers specialized care for patients suffering from ankle fractures, specifically those involving the malleolus. This service is designed to address the unique needs of individuals experiencing severe pain and potential complications associated with this type of injury. Our clinic is equipped with advanced diagnostic tools, including digital X-ray and musculoskeletal ultrasound, to accurately assess the extent of the fracture and develop an appropriate treatment plan.
Our team understands that ankle fractures can vary in severity and may require different approaches to treatment. We provide comprehensive evaluations to determine whether a stable or unstable fracture is present. Based on the diagnosis, our podiatrists will recommend tailored treatment options, which may include casting, the use of a walking boot, or, in more severe cases, surgical intervention.
In addition to immediate medical care, our clinic emphasizes the importance of follow-up and rehabilitation. We aim to ensure that patients regain their mobility and quality of life as quickly and safely as possible. Our team is dedicated to providing ongoing support throughout the recovery process, helping patients navigate their treatment effectively.
The PiedRéseau Rive-Sud team includes Dr. Audrey Gilbert and Dr. Vincent Coulombe, both experienced podiatrists, along with a skilled group of nurses and assistants. Together, they work collaboratively to deliver high-quality care tailored to the needs of each patient, ensuring a comprehensive approach to managing ankle fractures.
