Foot Fractures

Educational Information

 

Foot fractures are a common type of injury, affecting both adults and children. The symptoms of a foot fracture include pain, swelling, bruising, and difficulty walking. The most common causes of foot fractures include trauma, such as a fall or a direct impact to the foot, and osteoporosis, which weakens the bones and makes them more susceptible to fractures. Diagnosis of a foot fracture typically involves a physical examination, X-rays, and sometimes a CT scan.


Treatment options for foot fractures can vary depending on the type and severity of the fracture, but they often involve immobilization with a cast or brace, physical therapy, and medication to manage pain and swelling. In severe cases, surgery may be necessary to repair the damaged bone. In addition, orthopedic devices such as shoes or inserts can be used to provide extra support and protection for the foot. It is important for individuals with foot fractures to follow a proper rehabilitation plan to ensure a successful recovery and prevent future injury.
