Foot and Ankle Fractures
A fracture is a broken bone. There are numerous ways a bone may sustain a fracture but the most common is through trauma. There are 26 bones in the foot but certain bones are more prone to fracture than others. They are best diagnosed with an x-ray or other studies (like a CT Scan). Each bone has its own nuances for treatment therefore the best recommendation is thorough evaluation by your foot and ankle specialist.
