A member asked:
Can you break your foot by jumping off stairs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Falling breaks bones: Certainly a fall from a height or jumping off stairs could cause a bone to break. A break is the same as a fracture. This will need treatment by your podiatrist and diagnosis with x-rays. It would be advisable to avoid the injury in the first place.
