Foot Fractures & Dislocations
A fracture is a broken bone. Bones can be broken in a variety of ways, whether the fracture is complete or partial. Dislocations occur when the joint is forced out of its normal position and may involve joint separation. Fractures and dislocations are painful and should be set by a physician to ensure proper healing and prevent loss of function.

The achilles tendon is the largest tendon in the body. It connects the foot and ankle to the calf muscles and is used when you run, walk and jump. When the achilles tendon is torn, separated or ruptured, it can no longer perform its normal function.

A variety of non-surgical treatments exist for treating foot and ankle conditions, and we believe in pursuing non-invasive treatments whenever possible. While some orthopedic conditions necessitate surgery, and while many safe and effective surgical treatments exist, many patients are able to make a full recovery without it. Some non-surgical treatments include braces and casts for fractures, injections to reduce inflammation and improve joint function, and physical therapy to remediate impairment and promote mobility and function. We view every patient as a distinct individual with unique needs – schedule an appointment to meet with our team of physicians and discuss what treatment options are best for you.
Brace
Braces, casts, and splints are all used to keep a part of the body in place while healing. When you break a bone, your doctor will put the pieces back together in the right positions so they can heal.
