About Displaced Bone in Foot

A displaced bone in the foot, often a fracture, is a serious injury where the broken bone fragments are misaligned. In pediatric orthopedics, treating this condition is crucial to ensure proper healing and prevent long-term complications like growth disturbances or deformities. The primary goal is to realign (reduce) the bone fragments into their correct anatomical position and stabilize them to allow for optimal healing. Treatment may involve non-surgical closed reduction and casting or, for more severe displacements, surgical open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) with pins, screws, or plates. Pediatric orthopedic specialists are skilled in techniques that protect the child's growth plates (physes) to safeguard future bone development.

Key Highlights

Expert realignment of bone fragments to restore normal foot anatomy and function.Specialized care that protects the child's growth plates to ensure proper future bone development.Utilization of both non-surgical (casting) and surgical (internal fixation) techniques tailored to the injury's severity.Aims to prevent long-term complications like chronic pain, arthritis, or deformity.Focuses on a full return to normal activities, including sports and play.

Who is this surgery for?

Closed or open fractures of the foot bones (e.g., metatarsals, tarsals) with significant displacement.
Fractures where the bone fragments are angled, shortened, or rotated, preventing proper healing.
Injuries involving the growth plate (physeal fractures) that require precise alignment.
Unstable fractures that cannot be maintained in correct position with casting alone.
Fractures causing damage to surrounding nerves, blood vessels, or skin (compartment syndrome risk).

How to prepare

Initial assessment with X-rays, and possibly a CT scan, to evaluate the displacement and plan treatment.
Discussion of the procedure (reduction and fixation), anesthesia options, and risks/benefits with the pediatric orthopedic surgeon.
Pre-operative instructions including fasting (typically 6-8 hours for solids) before surgery if required.
Management of pain and swelling with rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE protocol) prior to the procedure.
Informing the medical team of the child's complete medical history and any medications.

Risks & possible complications

General risks of anesthesia.
Infection at the surgical site or in the bone (osteomyelitis).
Bleeding, bruising, or damage to nearby nerves or blood vessels.
Stiffness, chronic pain, or complex regional pain syndrome.
Delayed healing, non-union (bone doesn't heal), or malunion (bone heals in poor position).
Growth plate injury potentially affecting future bone length or shape.
Need for further surgery to remove hardware or address complications.

Recovery & hospital stay

Initial period of strict elevation to control swelling and pain management with prescribed medications.
Use of a cast, walking boot, or crutches to keep weight off the foot for several weeks.
Follow-up X-rays to monitor bone healing and alignment.
Gradual return to weight-bearing as guided by the orthopedic surgeon, often over 6-8 weeks.
Physical therapy may be recommended to restore strength, flexibility, and range of motion.
Full recovery and return to sports can take several months, depending on the injury's severity.

Typical hospital stay: 0-2 days
Expected recovery time: 6-12 weeks for initial healing; 4-6 months for full return to sports

PATIENT REVIEW

Ayaan Joshi is a cheerful 8-year-old...

Ayaan Joshi is a cheerful 8-year-old who loves playing cricket with his friends in their Mumbai neighborhood. His injury happened during a particularly enthusiastic match when he tripped over a boundary stone while chasing a ball. He felt an immediate, sharp pain in his midfoot and couldn't put any weight on it. His foot swelled and bruised rapidly. At the local clinic, an X-ray confirmed a displaced Lisfranc injury, a serious midfoot fracture-dislocation. The pediatric orthopedist, Dr. Mehta, explained that due to the significant displacement, the bones would not heal correctly without surgery. He recommended an open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) to realign the joint and secure it with plates and screws. Ayaan was very scared of the idea of an operation. His parents used stories of cricket heroes overcoming injuries to help him feel brave. The surgery went smoothly. Afterward, his foot was in a non-weight-bearing cast for 8 weeks, which was frustrating for an active boy. He used a knee scooter to get around and focused on his schoolwork and drawing. After the cast was removed, he began gentle physiotherapy. Six months post-op, Ayaan is back to playing cricket, though he wears supportive footwear. Emotionally, he went from fear and frustration to feeling proud of his 'bionic foot' and his patience during recovery.
