The bones in the foot and toes support the body’s weight and absorb impact with every step. When one of these bones breaks, even simple movements like walking or standing can become painful. Without proper treatment, a fracture can lead to chronic pain, stiffness, or long-term joint problems.
At OccuHealth Surgery Center, we provide expert diagnosis and treatment for foot and toe fractures. Our goal is to restore alignment, relieve pain, and help you return to normal activity safely and comfortably.
Foot and toe fractures can occur from a range of accidents and overuse injuries.
Foot and toe fractures are common and can occur from a variety of accidents and overuse injuries. They are often caused by dropping a heavy object on the foot, tripping or falling, repetitive stress from sports, or general overuse.
Symptoms of a foot or toe fracture will vary depending on the injury’s severity and location. However, typical symptoms can include:
Sharp or aching pain
Swelling and bruising
Difficulty bearing weight
Visible deformity or misalignment of the toe or foot
Tenderness when touched
If you suspect you have a toe or foot fracture, timely evaluation is important to prevent improper healing or any long-term complications.
Our team begins with a detailed physical examination to assess swelling, tenderness, and range of motion. Imaging, such as X-rays or CT scans, helps us to confirm the type and severity of the fracture. Identifying whether the fracture is displaced or stable helps determine the right course of treatment.
Treatment typically focuses on realigning the bones, protecting the injured area, and promoting full recovery.
Stable fractures may be managed with rest, immobilization, or protective footwear. In some cases, taping or splinting the toe can support proper healing. Our specialists will provide you with all the necessary information, tools, and prescriptions, if needed.
Displaced, open, or complex fractures often require surgery to realign and stabilize the bones. Our surgeons use precise, minimally invasive techniques and internal fixation devices to restore structure and function. Fixation devices may include pins, plates, or screws.
Each treatment plan is customized to the patient’s injury, activity level, and recovery goals.
Recovery depends on the location and severity of the fracture. Most patients require a period of limited weight-bearing followed by guided physical therapy to restore flexibility and strength. Our team monitors your healing through follow-up visits and adjusts your plan as needed to ensure optimal recovery.
A foot or toe fracture can disrupt your daily life, but with timely treatment and the right care, our team will help you recover faster and stronger. At OccuHealth Surgery Center, our specialists provide comprehensive fracture management and surgical expertise to help you return to activity safely.
