Understanding Foot Fractures

A metatarsal fracture is a type of injury where there is a break or crack in the long bones located in the middle of your foot due to some form of trauma. It can occur from a heavy object falling on your foot, a sports injury, or even just from tripping and falling. If you suspect you have a metatarsal fracture, it's important to seek medical attention as soon as possible.

If the bones are not properly aligned during the healing process, it can result in further foot problems down the road. However, surgery is not always the first option and can be considered as a last resort for severe cases. In many cases, conventional treatments such as rest, ice, compression, and elevation (R.I.C.E.) can be effective. Wearing a cast or a walking boot and using crutches to relieve pressure on the foot can also aid in the healing process.

It's essential to consult with a podiatrist like Dr. O'Neill, who can evaluate the extent of the injury and recommend the best course of action for you. With proper care and treatment, most metatarsal fractures can be successfully healed without the need for surgery, allowing you to get back to your normal activities as soon as possible.

How Foot Fractures can Happen

There are many different ways that a foot fracture can occur. Accidentally dropping a heavy object on your foot is a common cause of fractures, as well as participating in high-impact or contact sports without proper footwear or protection. Poor form or overuse during exercise can also lead to stress fractures. Falling down or other types of trauma to the foot can also cause fractures.

If you have experienced any of these situations and are experiencing pain, swelling, redness, or bruising, it is essential to seek medical attention right away. These symptoms may indicate a fracture and delaying treatment can lead to further complications.

Dr. O'Neill and his team at Pomona Valley Podiatry Group are highly experienced in diagnosing and treating foot fractures and can create a personalized treatment plan to help you recover quickly and effectively.
