How Is A Broken Tendon Treated?

Hello, My sister fell down the steps and her doctor said she broke a tendon that pulled a piece of the bone away in her foot. She said that when she steps on the pad of her foot, it feels like something is coming through the bottom of her foot. x-rays showed an injury similar to a dancer? can you advise?

Hello,

Thanks for writing to us,

I have studied your case with diligence.

If you can send x ray or MRI of ankle and foot we can help you better.
Till time take medication like analgesic and apply crepe bandage over foot or use supportive splint.
Physiotherapy will help to reduce symptoms.
Some nutrients which are important for recovery after injury include vitamin C, folic acid, calcium, vitamin D, VIT B12.so supplements of these nutrients will lead to early recovery.

Regular physiotherapy and exercises are very important for early rehabilitation as my patients find much relief by these therapies.


Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
