Returning to high impact activity too quickly can not only delay the healing process but can also increase the risk of further fracture \u2013 which takes longer to recover from.<\/p>\n<p>The goal of treatment is to relieve pain and allow the fracture to heal so that you are able to return to your activities. Following your treatment plan will help you return to activities faster and prevent further damage to the bone.<\/p>\n<h3>Non-Surgical Treatment<\/h3>\n<p>Typically, with proper rest, it can take from 6-8 weeks for a stress fracture to heal.<\/p>\n<p>To reduce pressure on your foot or leg a post-op shoe or short-leg aircast boot may be recommended. Sometimes casting is recommended, particularly if the stress fracture presents on the fifth metatarsal bone which can take longer to heal.<\/p>\n<h3>Surgical Treatment<\/h3>\n<p>Sometimes surgery is the best solution to ensure a stress fracture heals properly. Screws, Pins, and\/or plates are most often used to hold the small bones of the foot and ankle together during the healing process.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_accordion_item][\/et_pb_accordion][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243;][et_pb_image _builder_version=&#8221;3.2.2&#8243;

injuries and accidents, overuse, family genetics, and inflammatory conditions. The term arthritis is also a general term that covers over 100 joint and musculoskeletal conditions.\n\nThe most common types are Osteoarthritis (OA, includes post-injury), Inflammatory arthritis (eg Rheumatoid arthritis), and Gout; a crystal type arthritis.\n\nIn the foot the most common site affected by arthritis is the 1st metatarso-phalangeal joint (MTPJ). Arthritis here is often called hallux limits or hallux rigidus. \n\nSymptoms of arthritis vary but can include;\naching and throbbing pain\nloss of movement\/joint stiffness\npain rest and at night\navoidance of the area\nswelling or enlargement of the joint\n\nXrays are used as a baseline investigation to help review the level\/stage of arthritic change within the foot, as well as bone stock\/quality. Other investigations may also be helpful including MRI or CT scan, and bloods to review inflammatory markers.\n\nTreatment options range from conservative treatments that may help to relieve the pain and discomfort associated with arthritis such as changing shoes, using orthotics, taking over-the-counter pain medications, or a course of injections for injections. Injections have evolved over the years where we can injection either cortisone\/steroid, hyaluronic acid, or plasma rich in growth factors (PRGF\/PRP). Many patients do well with conservative treatment however arthritis is usually a progressive problem requiring either self management repeat of the conservative options or surgery.\n\nSurgical treatment is recommended if you\u2019re suffering from severe pain from arthritis and simple measures have failed to improve your symptoms. Surgery will be specific to the joint(s) affected.  As a general rule a joint fusion for hallux rigidus takes 6-8 weeks to recover from.\n\nMake an appointment if you have\n\n\u2022 Pain or discomfort that affects your daily activities or\n\u2022 You have exhausted at home conservative measures \n\nTo learn more please visit www.kannfootsurgery.com\n\nTo book an appointment with Mr Ewan Kannegieter, please call Nikki Freeman on 07808 643950\n#foothealth\">\r\n        <\/a>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n<\/div><div class=\"sbi_item sbi_type_image sbi_new sbi_transition\" id=\"sbi_17994988132867634\" data-date=\"1682403972\">\r\n    <div class=\"sbi_photo_wrap\">\r\n        <a class=\"sbi_photo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CrcvJ5qsWYL\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-full-res=\"https:\/\/scontent.cdninstagram.com\/v\/t51.29350-15\/342888751_195700659894317_7982485765705245475_n.jpg?_nc_cat=104&#038;ccb=1-7&#038;_nc_sid=8ae9d6&#038;_nc_ohc=e7AsJjgzGbgAX9YYm3l&#038;_nc_ht=scontent.cdninstagram.com&#038;edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&#038;oh=00_AfCoocGgMt51v0vnJ2TObyeA3z1O53JFQH6n5dXpfqvRrQ&#038;oe=64745076\" data-img-src-set=\"{&quot;d&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/scontent.cdninstagram.com\\\/v\\\/t51.29350-15\\\/342888751_195700659894317_7982485765705245475_n.jpg?_nc_cat=104&amp;ccb=1-7&amp;_nc_sid=8ae9d6&amp;_nc_ohc=e7AsJjgzGbgAX9YYm3l&amp;_nc_ht=scontent.cdninstagram.com&amp;edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&amp;oh=00_AfCoocGgMt51v0vnJ2TObyeA3z1O53JFQH6n5dXpfqvRrQ&amp;oe=64745076&quot;,&quot;150&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/scontent.cdninstagram.com\\\/v\\\/t51.29350-15\\\/342888751_195700659894317_7982485765705245475_n.jpg?_nc_cat=104&amp;ccb=1-7&amp;_nc_sid=8ae9d6&amp;_nc_ohc=e7AsJjgzGbgAX9YYm3l&amp;_nc_ht=scontent.cdninstagram.com&amp;edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&amp;oh=00_AfCoocGgMt51v0vnJ2TObyeA3z1O53JFQH6n5dXpfqvRrQ&amp;oe=64745076&quot;,&quot;320&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/scontent.cdninstagram.com\\\/v\\\/t51.29350-15\\\/342888751_195700659894317_7982485765705245475_n.jpg?_nc_cat=104&amp;ccb=1-7&amp;_nc_sid=8ae9d6&amp;_nc_ohc=e7AsJjgzGbgAX9YYm3l&amp;_nc_ht=scontent.cdninstagram.com&amp;edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&amp;oh=00_AfCoocGgMt51v0vnJ2TObyeA3z1O53JFQH6n5dXpfqvRrQ&amp;oe=64745076&quot;,&quot;640&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/scontent.cdninstagram.com\\\/v\\\/t51.29350-15\\\/342888751_195700659894317_7982485765705245475_n.jpg?_nc_cat=104&amp;ccb=1-7&amp;_nc_sid=8ae9d6&amp;_nc_ohc=e7AsJjgzGbgAX9YYm3l&amp;_nc_ht=scontent.cdninstagram.com&amp;edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&amp;oh=00_AfCoocGgMt51v0vnJ2TObyeA3z1O53JFQH6n5dXpfqvRrQ&amp;oe=64745076&quot;}\">\r\n            <span class=\"sbi-screenreader\">.\n17th-23rd April is Foot Health Week.\nBunions\n \nB<\/span>\r\n            \t                    <img src=\"https:\/\/kannfootsurgery.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/instagram-feed\/img\/placeholder.png\" alt=\".\n17th-23rd April is Foot Health Week.\nBunions\n \nBunions are common with up to 30% of adults developing some degree of bunion deformity.  Bunions can be painful, unsightly, and uncomfortable. If left untreated, they lead to footwear fitting problems, crowding and buckling of the other toes, arthritis within the bunion joint and increasing pain.\n \nA bunion is a shift of 2 bones - the 1st metatarsal and the base of the toe, where they form an offset angle and often a bony enlargement or bump.\n \nThe cause is thought to be genetic eg an inherited foot type. Years of wearing tight or uncomfortable shoes may exacerbate a bunion, but is not the initial cause.\n \nXrays are used to chart the degree of deformity and also help review any arthritic change within the foot, length of bones, bone stock\/quality and changes to other parts of the foot including the lesser toes and arch.\n \nConservative treatments may help to relieve the pain and discomfort associated with the bunion such as changing shoes, using orthotics, taking over-the-counter pain medications, or injections for pain relief eg cortisone\/steroid.\n \nIn some cases, surgery may be recommended as a treatment for bunions. The goal of surgery is to improve the alignment of the big toe joint. Commonly performed surgeries include osteotomy (moving and reshaping bones) or fusion (joining two bones). Depending on the extent of the deformity, additional procedures may be necessary. There is an increasing move toward minimally incision surgery (MIS) for bunion correction.\n \nIf you\u2019re experiencing any of the following symptoms, it\u2019s time to make an appointment with us;\n \n\u2022 Pain or discomfort that affects your daily activities\n\u2022 Changes in the shape of your foot eg the bunion is now buckling the lesser toes\n\u2022 You have exhausted at home conservative measures\n \nTo learn more please visit www.kannfootsurgery.com\n \nTo book an appointment with Mr Ewan Kannegieter, please call Nikki Freeman on 07808 643950\n\n\u25ab\ufe0f \u25ab\ufe0f \u25ab\ufe0f \u25ab\ufe0f\n#kannfootsurgery #ewankannegieter #foothealthweek #consultant #podiatry #podiatricsurgery #foot #expert #footandanklesurgery #bunions #phoenixhospitachelmsford #chelmsford #essex\">\r\n        <\/a>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n<\/div><div class=\"sbi_item sbi_type_image sbi_new sbi_transition\" id=\"sbi_17955403436351672\" data-date=\"1682348828\">\r\n    <div class=\"sbi_photo_wrap\">\r\n        <a class=\"sbi_photo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CrbF-fmNSZ_\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-full-res=\"https:\/\/scontent.cdninstagram.com\/v\/t51.29350-15\/342916962_639437524863554_6211962714048534440_n.jpg?_nc_cat=103&#038;ccb=1-7&#038;_nc_sid=8ae9d6&#038;_nc_ohc=pnHKFEM_z-4AX_3T4JP&#038;_nc_ht=scontent.cdninstagram.com&#038;edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&#038;oh=00_AfB2t7Fn0bafjk9ybTct-SSUkYj1q8PkK_kUlKEREvRH8g&#038;oe=64738D38\" data-img-src-set=\"{&quot;d&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/scontent.cdninstagram.com\\\/v\\\/t51.29350-15\\\/342916962_639437524863554_6211962714048534440_n.jpg?_nc_cat=103&amp;ccb=1-7&amp;_nc_sid=8ae9d6&amp;_nc_ohc=pnHKFEM_z-4AX_3T4JP&amp;_nc_ht=scontent.cdninstagram.com&amp;edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&amp;oh=00_AfB2t7Fn0bafjk9ybTct-SSUkYj1q8PkK_kUlKEREvRH8g&amp;oe=64738D38&quot;,&quot;150&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/scontent.cdninstagram.com\\\/v\\\/t51.29350-15\\\/342916962_639437524863554_6211962714048534440_n.jpg?_nc_cat=103&amp;ccb=1-7&amp;_nc_sid=8ae9d6&amp;_nc_ohc=pnHKFEM_z-4AX_3T4JP&amp;_nc_ht=scontent.cdninstagram.com&amp;edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&amp;oh=00_AfB2t7Fn0bafjk9ybTct-SSUkYj1q8PkK_kUlKEREvRH8g&amp;oe=64738D38&quot;,&quot;320&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/scontent.cdninstagram.com\\\/v\\\/t51.29350-15\\\/342916962_639437524863554_6211962714048534440_n.jpg?_nc_cat=103&amp;ccb=1-7&amp;_nc_sid=8ae9d6&amp;_nc_ohc=pnHKFEM_z-4AX_3T4JP&amp;_nc_ht=scontent.cdninstagram.com&amp;edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&amp;oh=00_AfB2t7Fn0bafjk9ybTct-SSUkYj1q8PkK_kUlKEREvRH8g&amp;oe=64738D38&quot;,&quot;640&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/scontent.cdninstagram.com\\\/v\\\/t51.29350-15\\\/342916962_639437524863554_6211962714048534440_n.jpg?_nc_cat=103&amp;ccb=1-7&amp;_nc_sid=8ae9d6&amp;_nc_ohc=pnHKFEM_z-4AX_3T4JP&amp;_nc_ht=scontent.cdninstagram.com&amp;edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&amp;oh=00_AfB2t7Fn0bafjk9ybTct-SSUkYj1q8PkK_kUlKEREvRH8g&amp;oe=64738D38&quot;}\">\r\n            <span class=\"sbi-screenreader\">.\n17th-23rd April is Foot Health Week. \n\nDuring Fo<\/span>\r\n            \t                    <img src=\"https:\/\/kannfootsurgery.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/instagram-feed\/img\/placeholder.png\" alt=\".\n17th-23rd April is Foot Health Week. \n\nDuring Foot Health Week, podiatrists, podiatric surgeons and the @roycolpod work together to educate the public about the role that podiatry plays in saving lives and limbs, and help reduce the prevalence of foot-related health problems. \n\nAs experts of the foot and lower limb, podiatrists are best placed to assess your foot issues, diagnose the cause, reduce your pain, and help you to regain your foot health.\n\nMr Ewan Kannegieter is a Consultant Podiatric Surgeon based at the @phoenixhospitalchelmsford.
