Wondering if anyone can help answer a question.

If someone goes down on the field of play in a lot of pain who cant and doesn't want to move their ankle at all...if a fracture is suspected and an ambulance is called would it be best practice to remove their trainer slowly and carefully, just loosen the shoe or leave the shoe alone and on the player?

Then would it be elevation, and ice keeping the ankle as still and stabilised as possible. Would you look to splint the ankle in anyway before the ambulance arrives?

Any help would be good for future reference
