FOOT AND ANKLE FRACTURE CARE

Fractures of the foot and ankle range from small stress fractures to severe traumatic breaks. Dr. Storts provides comprehensive fracture care with on-site X-rays for quick, accurate diagnosis.

Types of fractures we treat:

Stress Fractures: Hairline cracks from repetitive stress, common in runners and workers who stand all day
Metatarsal Fractures: Breaks in the long bones of the foot
Ankle Fractures: Breaks of the fibula, tibia, or both at the ankle joint
Calcaneal (Heel) Fractures: Breaks of the heel bone, often from falls
Toe Fractures: Breaks in the small bones of the toes
Jones Fractures: A specific fracture at the base of the 5th metatarsal that can be slow to heal

TREATMENT APPROACH

Treatment depends on the type, location, and severity of the fracture:

On-site X-rays: Quick, accurate diagnosis for cash-pay and insured patients
Casting and Immobilization: Proper stabilization for optimal healing
Walking Boots: For fractures that allow weight-bearing
Surgical Fixation: When fractures are displaced or unstable
Regenerative Medicine: PRP and bone-stimulating therapies for slow-healing fractures

Dr. Storts monitors healing progress and adjusts treatment as needed to ensure proper recovery and return to activity.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Call (740) 851-4003 for urgent evaluation, and bring your insurance card, photo ID, a list of your current medications, and any imaging already done elsewhere.
Bring or wear any boot, splint or crutches you have been using.
A typical evaluation includes reviewing how the injury happened, examining the foot and ankle, and on-site X-rays for diagnosis.
Dr. Storts explains what the imaging shows and which treatment applies, such as casting, a walking boot, or surgical fixation.
Follow-up visits with repeat imaging are used to monitor healing and to guide your return to weight-bearing and activity.
