Stress Fractures in Frisco, TX

When you do not take care of stress fractures in the bones of your feet, you could be setting yourself up for arthritis and chronic pain. A stress fracture can be tiny hairline fractures in the bones of your feet that form when too much pressure has been placed on the foot. Preston Surgery Center offers nonsurgical options for the treatment of stress fractures. Drs. Lloyd and Swails can determine if the severity of the injury requires a cast, boot, or orthopedic shoe (to keep the bones of the foot in place). They can also recommend if you should use crutches to take off the extra pressure on the foot when standing. Being immobilized for several weeks (or a determined time period) will help your bones heal from the stress fracture. When there are multiple fractures, a displaced bone, or the bone will not heal, then Dr. Swails or Dr. Lloyd may recommend surgery for the stress fractured bone(s).
