Broken Foot (cont.)

Medical Author:
Medical Editor:

Prevention

It is always better to prevent broken bones than to treat them.

  • Construction workers and others at risk for foot injuries should always wear steel-toed protective boots.
  • Sports always should be performed with well-fitting supportive athletic shoes.
  • When riding in a car, do not allow passengers to dangle feet out the window or place feet up on the dashboard.
  • Always wear a seatbelt when riding in a car.
