Can you walk on an avulsion fracture?

It is not recommended to walk on an avulsion fracture. An avulsion fracture is a type of bone fracture in which a small piece of bone is pulled away from the main bone by a tendon or ligament. It can be caused by a sudden, forceful contraction of a muscle or by a traumatic injury.

Walking on an avulsion fracture can cause further damage to the bone and soft tissue. It can also lead to pain, swelling, and instability in the affected joint. In some cases, surgery may be necessary to repair the fracture and prevent further complications.

If you suspect that you have an avulsion fracture, it is important to consult with a doctor as soon as possible. They will be able to assess the severity of the fracture and recommend the best course of treatment.
