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.
