Fractures & Trauma
What are Fractures & Traumas?
Understanding the condition
Fractures and trauma to the foot and ankle can range from small stress fractures caused by repetitive strain to severe displaced breaks resulting from accidents or falls.
In many cases, trauma also involves soft tissues, tendons, and ligaments, which can complicate healing if not properly managed.
Prompt and accurate diagnosis is essential to restore stability, prevent long-term complications, and ensure a full recovery.
When to suspect a Fracture or Trauma?
Signs & Symptoms
Sudden pain following injury or impact
Swelling, bruising, or visible deformity around the foot or ankle
Difficulty or inability to bear weight
How We Diagnose Fractures & Traumas
Diagnosis begins with a comprehensive clinical evaluation and detailed injury history.
Dr. Malek Abu-Al-Nadi performs a physical examination to assess swelling, alignment, and movement, followed by X-rays or CT/MRI scans to determine fracture type and severity.
This allows for a precise treatment plan aimed at achieving proper bone alignment and full functional recovery.
