Trauma of the Foot and Ankle

Trauma to the foot and ankle can result from sports injuries, falls, car accidents, or heavy impact. Because these areas bear the weight of your body and support mobility, even minor injuries can lead to pain, instability, and long-term complications if not properly treated.

Common traumatic injuries of the foot and ankle include:

  • Fractures and broken bones
  • Severe sprains or ligament tears
  • Tendon injuries or ruptures
  • Joint dislocations
  • Crush injuries or lacerations

Symptoms may include sudden pain, swelling, bruising, limited range of motion, and difficulty bearing weight. Prompt evaluation through physical examination and imaging (such as X-rays or MRIs) is critical to determine the extent of the injury.

Treatment options may involve:

  • Immobilization with a brace, splint, or cast
  • Rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE)
  • Physical therapy to regain strength and function
  • Pain management and anti-inflammatory medications
  • Surgical intervention for severe or complex injuries

Early diagnosis and treatment of foot and ankle trauma can help ensure proper healing and prevent future issues such as chronic pain or instability. If you’ve experienced an injury, we’re here to provide expert care and get you back on your feet safely.
