Foot Fracture and Ankle Fracture - Podiatrist in Goodyear, Avondale and West Valley, AZ - Samuel Cox, DPM
Podiatrist Dr. Samuel Cox of Arizona Foot & Ankle Specialists, discusses the symptoms, causes and treatments for Foot and Ankle Fractures.
Nearly one-fourth of all the bones in your body are in your feet. A broken (fractured) bone in your forefoot or in one of your toes is often painful, but rarely disabling. Most of the time, these injuries heal without operative treatment.
There are two types of foot fractures: stress fractures and general bone fractures. Stress fractures usually occur in the bones of the forefoot extending from the toes to the middle of the foot. Stress fractures are like tiny cracks in the bone surface. They can happen with sudden increases in exercise (such as running or walking for longer distances or times), improper training techniques, or a change in surfaces.
