A foot fracture is one of the most common injuries treated in orthopedic practice. It occurs when one or more of the 26 bones in the foot break due to trauma, overuse, twisting injuries, or accidents. Since the foot supports your entire body weight, fractures can severely impact mobility and daily activities. Understanding the signs, causes, and treatment options is essential to ensure proper healing and long-term comfort.
Causes of Foot Fractures
Foot fractures may occur due to:
-
Accidental falls or slips
-
Sports injuries, especially in running, football, cricket, or jumping activities
-
Twisting injuries while walking or exercising
-
Direct impact from heavy objects falling on the foot
-
Overuse or repetitive stress, causing hairline or stress fractures
Certain medical conditions, such as osteoporosis, can also weaken bones and increase the risk of fractures.
Common Symptoms
Symptoms of a foot fracture typically include:
-
Sharp or continuous foot pain
-
Swelling and tenderness
-
Difficulty standing or walking
-
Bruising or discoloration
-
Visible deformity in severe cases
-
Pain that worsens with movement or pressure
If you experience any of these symptoms, immediate evaluation is essential to prevent complications.
