Aaron Mound Breaks Toe

broken toe3Aaron Mound of Real Salt Lake has suffered a broken toe injury that has kept him off the field for four to eight weeks. Although there had been a lot of speculation over what had kept him out for so long, the injury was recently confirmed by beat writer, Aaron Falk. Mound is currently deciding whether or not he wants to have his toe surgically repaired. Deciding to have the surgery would prevent him from returning to the field in 2016.

A broken toe can be very painful and lead to complications if not properly fixed. If you have any concerns about your feet, contact Dr. Steven Shlonsky of Kentucky. Dr. Shlonsky will treat your foot and ankle needs.

What to Know About a Broken Toe

Although most people try to avoid foot trauma such as banging, stubbing, or dropping heavy objects on their feet, the unfortunate fact is that it is a common occurrence. Given the fact that toes are positioned in front of the feet, they typically sustain the brunt of such trauma. When trauma occurs to a toe, the result can be a painful break (fracture).

Symptoms of a Broken Toe

  • throbbing pain
  • swelling
  • bruising on the skin and toenail
  • the inability to move the toe
  • toe appears crooked or disfigured
  • tingling or numbness in the toe

Generally, it is best to stay off of the injured toe with the affected foot elevated.

Severe toe fractures may be treated with a splint, cast, and in some cases, minor surgery. Due to its position and the pressure it endures with daily activity, future complications can occur if the big toe is not properly treated.

If you have any questions please feel free to contact one of our offices located in Louisville, KY. We offer the newest diagnostic and treatment technologies for all your foot and ankle needs.
