A member asked:

My husband just dropped a car battery on the top of his foot. could it be broken?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Crush injury: Crushing injuries can be very injurious. Bones may be broken. Soft tissues like tendons may be injured by the sudden compression of the falling weight. Bleeding can be a problem with the formation of a blood clot or hematoma. Nerves may also be damaged. Your podiatrist should evaluate this injury, possibly take x rays, and institute a complete treatment plan.
