Treatment for periosteal injury of the ankle involves examination of mobility, dietary adjustments, and other approaches. If a patient has periosteal damage in the ankle joint, comprehensive treatment should be carried out under medical guidance, with efforts to minimize ankle movement. Additionally, maintaining a balanced diet is important—increasing intake of calcium and vitamins, and consuming more milk, fish, and similar foods can promote recovery.
