foot and ankle problems
     
 
 

Fractures around the foot and ankle are very common.  They can occur due to accidents or even missteps.  The severity of a fracture and the associated soft tissue injuries makes the treatment of fractures in this region more complex than others.

Common sites include the metatarsal (toes), calcaneum (heel), talus and the ankle joint.

 

DIAGNOSIS

The clinical suspicion will be confirmed with a plain radiograph.  This is usually sufficient for diagnostic and pre operative planning.

In certain cases where the small joints are involved, a CT scan with 3D reconstruction may be required to plan for surgical reconstruction

 
 
treatment

Treatment is dependant of the fracture configuration and condition of the soft tissues.  Surgical reconstruction of supporting bones and joint surfaces are of the utmost priority to allow early rehabilitation and back to mobility.
