A member asked:
What to do if i have fractured foot, do i need a cast?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends: Some fractures of the foot can be treated with a rigid surgical shoe or walking boot. But depending on the bone, location, and severity of the fracture, you may need a cast and crutches. Some fractures may require surgery. Ask your doctor.
