Foot Fractures

Foot fractures are breaks in one or more of the bones in the foot, which can occur due to trauma such as falls, accidents, or overuse. Common symptoms include pain, swelling, bruising, and difficulty walking. There are various types of fractures, ranging from stress fractures (small cracks) to complete breaks. Diagnosis typically involves physical examination and imaging tests like X-rays. Treatment can vary based on the fracture's severity, ranging from rest and immobilization with a cast to surgical intervention. Proper healing is essential to restore foot function and prevent complications.
