Football Player Benched by Broken Foot

Kyle RudolphMinnesota Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph is off the field after fracturing his foot during a game at Dallas. Coach Leslie Frazier called the Rudolph’s injury a ‘significant loss’, with Rudolph to miss Thursday’s game against Washington.

“That was on the touchdown play,” Frazier said, “He just got twisted there. I think (a Cowboys player) fell on his foot when he was tackling him. It was a very significant injury for him for our team.” Although the coach has high hopes for Rudolph’s recovery other players will step up to fill Rudolph’s position for now.  

A broken foot can place a burden on your participation in sports and your active lifestyle. However, an injury like this can be managed and taken care of by a podiatrist like Dr. Michael Wynn of Foot Care Associates of Texas, P.A. Dr. Wynn can examine your broken foot, determine the severity of your injury, and work with you to provide the appropriate treatment options.

Broken Foot Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment

A broken foot is caused by one of the bones in the foot ‘breaking’, or fracturing. Bones typically break when the bone is bended, crushed, or stretched beyond its natural capabilities. Usually the location of the fracture indicates how the break occurred, whether it was through an object, fall, or any other type of injury.  

Common Symptoms of Broken Feet:

· Bruising
· Pain
· Redness
· Swelling
· Blue (foot)
· Numbness
· Cold
· Misshapen
· Cuts
· Deformities

Those who are experiencing any of these symptoms, or suspect that they have a broken foot, should seek medical attention in a center where x-rays can be performed. This is especially urgent if any of the symptoms include numbness, blue coloring, cold feet, cuts, misshapen toes or deformities as these indicate more severe cases.
