Patient's question:
A while ago, while cycling, I accidentally fell and experienced pain in my toes and legs. After a thorough examination at the hospital, it was discovered that I had a broken toe and leg trauma. Later, I may have overlooked it again, and muscle atrophy reappeared. Hello, what should I do if muscle atrophy occurs again after toe fracture with leg trauma?Doctor's answer:
Because a second fracture in the foot can lead to muscle atrophy, this condition primarily involves functional training and complete recovery after the fracture heals. Muscle atrophy is mainly caused by prolonged inactivity, which results in a costal expansion effect. Therefore, treatment naturally requires more activity and rehabilitation therapy. As muscle movement increases, it gradually improves. Additionally, local massage and physiotherapy can be used in coordination for treatment.
