Why does leg swell 3 months after ankle fracture?

Activity: Unfortunately, injured ankles will continue to swell for months after injuries. The longevity of edema correlates with the severity of your injury.

Ankle fracture last: A long time is not uncommon, and some post-fracture degenerative changes could be causing chronic swelling - check with your podiatrist of an orthopedist.
