A member asked:
Is it true that the tarsal bone in your foot is easily broken?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually not: It usually takes a lot of force to break a tarsal bone. There are medical conditions that affect bones and can make fractures more likely, such as osteoporosis or osteomalacia.
