Foot and Ankle Fractures

A fracture is a break in one or more of the bones in your foot or ankle. Because the foot and ankle complex is made up of numerous interconnected bones and joints, injuries can range from tiny, hairline stress fractures to severe, displaced breaks. These injuries are often the result of sudden trauma, falls, twisting motions, or sports injuries.

Signs You May Have a Fracture If you have sustained a fracture, you will likely experience immediate, throbbing pain at the site of the injury. Other common symptoms include significant swelling, bruising, tenderness to the touch, and a noticeable inability to bear weight on the affected foot. Seeking immediate professional care is critical; if a fractured bone heals out of alignment, it can lead to chronic pain, arthritis, and permanent changes in how you walk.

Expert Fracture Management While some minor, stable fractures can be treated conservatively with immobilization—such as a cast or a specialized walking boot—more severe or displaced breaks require advanced intervention. We are proud to offer advanced surgical and non-surgical care for foot and ankle conditions.
