Suggest Treatment For Chip Fracture In Foot
My daughter got an x-ray on the side of her left foot. They said that she had chip fragments. She is a level 10 competitive gymnast. They are having her do physical therapy for 6 weeks. I need to explain this to her coach, but not sure what to call this. Thanks Debbie

Chip fractures usually heal by 6 weeks still to confirm healing repeat fracture can be done. And since she is a professional we need to be doubly sure.
