FOOT AND ANKLE LACERATION CARE

Lacerations (cuts) to the foot and ankle can occur from accidents at work, home, or during recreational activities. The foot contains many important structures including tendons, nerves, and blood vessels that can be damaged by deep cuts.

When to seek immediate treatment:

  • Deep cuts that expose underlying tissue
  • Wounds that won't stop bleeding after 10 minutes of direct pressure
  • Cuts on the bottom of the foot or near joints
  • Wounds with debris or contamination
  • Any cut where you notice decreased sensation or movement
  • Puncture wounds, especially from rusty or dirty objects

TREATMENT PROCESS

Dr. Storts provides thorough evaluation and expert repair of foot and ankle lacerations:

  • Thorough Examination: Assessment of tendon, nerve, and blood vessel integrity
  • Wound Cleaning: Proper irrigation and debridement to prevent infection
  • Closure: Suturing, stapling, or adhesive closure based on wound characteristics
  • Tetanus Evaluation: Assessment of tetanus immunization status
  • Follow-up Care: Wound checks and suture removal as needed

PROMPT LACERATION CARE

Don't delay treatment for foot lacerations. Prompt, proper care reduces infection risk and improves healing outcomes.
