The first 24–48 hours are crucial in managing a superior tibiofibular joint injury, as most bleeding and swelling around the joint occur during this period. To reduce swelling and support recovery, the injured leg should be rested and iced. Rest may involve limiting weight-bearing on the leg, sometimes with the help of crutches. Ice should be applied to the affected area for 15–20 minutes every 1–2 hours, ideally using crushed ice or a bag of frozen peas wrapped in a damp cloth. During this time, it is important to contact your physiotherapist for guidance and an appropriate rehabilitation plan.
