A broken foot is likely to hurt the bones, because the bones are not as strong as one might think, and a twisted foot may lead to a fracture of the ankle or foot, especially if the swelling is obvious, so one should go to the hospital to have the affected area X-rayed. After the X-ray examination, you can see whether there is a fracture, as well as the fracture site and the extent of the fracture can be seen, if you think there is no wound head may delay the condition. Therefore, no matter where the sprain is, you should first go to the hospital, after the X-ray examination, to determine whether or not there is bone damage. If there is a bone injury generally requires surgery or external fixation in a cast, if there is no bone injury, you can take a resting way to treat.
