Traumatic Injuries

Pain or damage within the foot and ankle that are the result of a particular event or accident are known as traumatic injuries. These may include broken bones, torn tendons and ligaments, or nerve damage. Such problems can occur during car and motorcycle accidents, falls or high-speed impacts, and other traumatic events affecting the feet and legs.

Traumatic injuries tend to be more severe with greater potential for long-term consequences. Some injuries may require surgery. It is advisable that you seek out immediate, expert medical assessment whenever you experience traumatic injury.
