Treatment of fractures of the foot bones
Foot bone fracture is an injury that can involve one or more of the 26 bones that make up the foot. Precise anatomy restoration of the foot allows for the most complete recovery of the stato-dynamic function of the foot.
Foot plays a key role in supporting body weight, impact absorption, and mobility. Foot bone fractures are often caused by falls, car accidents, sports injuries, or osteoporosis. Symptoms include severe pain, swelling, deformity and limited mobility.
Complex or displaced fractures may require surgical intervention - osteosynthesis, which allows precise fixation of bone fragments with steel components. Osteosynthesis is performed using minimally invasive techniques, which reduces trauma and accelerates the recovery process. Most patients can begin rehabilitation the first few days after surgery under the supervision of a specialist.
Common blood and urine tests. Coagulogram (blood clotting assessment). X-ray or computed tomography (CT) scan of the foot. Consultation with an anesthesiologist to choose the best anesthesia option. Examination and consultation with a general practitioner for an overall assessment of the patient's health.
Non-displaced fractures are usually treated nonsurgically, which includes immobilizing the foot with a cast or orthopedic shoes to ensure proper bone fusion. Surgery is required for displaced, complex fractures or in cases of threat to adjacent tissues. Surgery usually includes open reduction and internal fixation of the bone fragments with steel plates, screws and pins to secure the bone.
X-ray equipment for intraoperative monitoring. Steel retainer set (plates, screws, pins) to secure bone fragments.
Rehabilitation starts after the treatment, to restore mobility, strength and foot function. Rehabilitation may include physiotherapy, exercise therapy and foot workout to restore range of motion and muscle strength. Patients are also recommended to wear prescribed orthopedic shoes. The duration and intensity of rehabilitation depend on the complexity of the fracture and the patient's individual characteristics.
Benefits
Anatomy restoration
Securing and fusion of bone fragments ensure restoring normal foot structure.
Pain relief and mobility restoration
Treatment helps patients return to normal walking and standing without pain.
Preventing complications
Early treatment helps prevent chronic pain, foot deformity and trouble walking.
