What are the treatments for foot fractures?

Cast: Most foot fractures are treated with cast immobilization or cam walkers certain fractures which are displaced may need to have open fixation to get the best fracture alignment and healing.

Fractures: Treatment depends on the location of the fracture. If in the metatarsals and toes a surgical shoe may work. If in a larger bone a boot cast is appropriate.
