Ankle Fracture: Treatment and Management
Learn about ankle injuries' anatomy, types, treatments (surgical & non-surgical), recovery, and rehab in this comprehensive course.
About this course
Ankle fractures represent a common yet often complex challenge across a wide range of healthcare settings, affecting patients of all ages and activity levels. These injuries demand accurate diagnosis, evidence-based treatment decisions, and coordinated multidisciplinary care to optimize functional recovery and prevent long-term complications. Without a thorough understanding of fracture classification, imaging interpretation, surgical indications, and progressive rehabilitation strategies, even minor missteps in management can result in poor outcomes, including chronic pain, instability, or arthritis. This course equips healthcare providers with the critical knowledge and clinical tools needed to address ankle fractures effectively, integrating the latest research and best practices from orthopedics, rehabilitation, and pain management to ensure optimal care from initial injury through full recovery.

Real reviews, real results
I am always interested in continuing education in the areas of health, wellness, nutrition and mental health. Your course was well written, well organized and helpful in meeting state licensure requirements.
Verified reviewVery well written, easy to digest, time efficient, and straight to the point. Thank you!
Verified reviewI appreciate the convenience of the course being online and accessible through my phone and that it directly reports to CEBroker to support mandated education requirements.
Verified reviewI really loved this information. I was hospitalized last year for almost a month and I noticed multiple medical errors (not being hooked up to my IV multiple times, given wrong medication which caused my sodium to be very low, etc.) which lengthened my stay. I can now define those exact errors and better understand what happened to me. I hate that these medical errors are so common and I appreciate how well laid out your breakdown and categorization of them was.
Verified reviewI am always looking for concise ,thorough, and up to date continuing education, and this course provided exactly what I was looking for. Thank you
