FRACTURE TREATMENT IN CHILLICOTHE, OHIO

Fractures of the foot and ankle range from small stress fractures to severe traumatic breaks. Dr. Storts provides comprehensive fracture care with on-site X-rays for quick, accurate diagnosis.

Types of fractures we treat:

• Stress Fractures: Hairline cracks from repetitive stress, common in runners and workers who stand all day
• Metatarsal Fractures: Breaks in the long bones of the foot
• Ankle Fractures: Breaks of the fibula, tibia, or both at the ankle joint
• Calcaneal (Heel) Fractures: Breaks of the heel bone, often from falls
• Toe Fractures: Breaks in the small bones of the toes
• Jones Fractures: A specific fracture at the base of the 5th metatarsal that can be slow to heal

Treatment depends on the type, location, and severity of the fracture:

• On-site X-rays: Quick, accurate diagnosis ($70 foot, $70 ankle for cash-pay patients)
• Casting and Immobilization: Proper stabilization for optimal healing
• Walking Boots: For fractures that allow weight-bearing
• Surgical Fixation: When fractures are displaced or unstable
• Regenerative Medicine: PRP and bone-stimulating therapies for slow-healing fractures

Dr. Storts monitors healing progress and adjusts treatment as needed to ensure proper recovery and return to activity.
