Midfoot Injuries
Injuries of the midfoot are rare but can be serious if left
untreated. They range from mild sprains to
fracture-dislocations. Signs and symptoms include pain,
swelling, and the inability to bear weight on your foot.
These types of injuries are more common from a fall from a high
height, a twisting fall, or a sports injury.
Secondary problems such as arthritis and degenerative joint
disease are a real risk. A walking or non-weight bearing cast
for 4-6 weeks followed by physical therapy is the recommended
treatment plan. Surgery is also possible for more severe
cases.
