Foot & Ankle Fractures
Twenty-six bones. Millimetre tolerances.
The foot and ankle carry your whole body on joints that must align within millimetres. Whether treated in plaster or with surgery, fracture care decides how you walk for decades.
The fractures that hide
Lisfranc (midfoot) injuries and talus fractures are notorious for being missed in busy casualty departments — and notorious for causing arthritis when they are. If your “sprain” has sole bruising or midfoot pain, insist on specialist review.
How Dr. Mohit Prajapati treats it
- 01
Precision casting & monitoring
Many fractures heal perfectly without surgery — if alignment is checked at the right intervals.
- 02
Surgical fixation (ORIF)
Displaced ankle, heel and midfoot fractures are fixed anatomically so joints stay congruent.
- 03
Percutaneous & minimally invasive fixation
Smaller incisions where the fracture pattern allows — less soft-tissue damage.
- 04
Malunion & late correction
Old, badly-healed fractures can often still be realigned to relieve pain.
