A fracture can occur in any of the 26 bones in your foot. Fractures can range from small cracks to severe breaks, and the treatment plan is determined by the severity of the injury. Options may include rest, immobilization with a cast or boot, or surgery. Recovery involves keeping weight off your injured foot, following your doctor’s recommendations for rest and rehabilitation, and gradually returning to normal activities. Starting physical therapy during the recovery period can prevent stiffness and improve mobility.
