Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I started having pain and swelling in my left foot on the top in May when to the dr done X-ray s nothing when back to work then a week ago when back to the dr got an MRI. Says I have a leis franc sprain with a non displaced fracture. Sending me to a orthodr until then I have to stay off and wear a moon boot. do u think I will have to have surgery?
Hello, Welcome, and thanks for sharing your concern I went through your query, and I feel, the term u are using is bit absurd, this joint you are talking of is a mixture of 5 joints, and non displaced fracture in all five is uncommon, better see an orthopod and get your diagnosis cleared, as the treatment will depend on that. moreover i feel you will not need any surgery, if what you say of your diagnosis is correct. I hope my advice would have been useful, in decision making regarding your treatment, still if you have any clarifications or doubts feel free to contact back. Thanks.
