Foot and ankle fractures can occur from trauma such as falls, sports injuries, or accidents. When the bones are broken or misaligned, fracture fixation surgery is often necessary to realign and stabilize the bones for proper healing. During the procedure, the surgeon uses screws, plates, or rods to hold the bones in place, ensuring they heal in the correct position. This surgery helps restore normal foot and ankle function, relieve pain, and prevent long-term complications such as arthritis or instability. Recovery typically involves a period of immobilization followed by physical therapy to regain strength and mobility.
