It is always best to be proactive with foot injuries. I would recommend an X-Ray to rule out possible fracture and to receive proper foot offloading equipment.

The only way to tell if a bone is broken is with an x-ray. You may have a dislocated bone that is not broken. Again, an x-ray is needed to determine that.

You will require an X-ray for proper evaluation. Until that time, elevation with ice and non-weight bearing.
Good luck.

Get an X-ray ASAP

It very well may be broken especially if you have injured the foot. See a podiatrist immediately for an X-ray and do not walk on the foot. Most fractures aka broken bones heal in 6-8 weeks.

Impossible to know from a photo. Get an x-ray.

Hello there, if you have an emergency please see your nearest emergency room or urgent care.

Based on this photo it is not possible to make an accurate diagnosis. There appears to be some edema (swelling) and eccymosis (bruising), but you did not mention the mechanism of injury and the area of injury. Your anatomy appears normal so there does not appear to be any dislocation(s). The only way to validate a fracture would be to have an x-ray. I recommend you consult with a Podiatric Surgeon who is Board Certified by the American Board of Foot & Ankle Surgery.

Unfortunately without an X-ray it is not possible to judge. I recommend seeing a Podiatrist to evaluate.

Hi there,

Depends what you did to cause the swelling. If you twisted your ankle, possible that it’s just a sprain. However, no way to truly tell unless you get an X-ray to confirm a fracture. Please see your local podiatrist for further work up & evaluation.

By broken, I am assuming you mean fractured. You should see a medical professional. Based on the history, they would probably send you for X-rays. There are occasions where more advanced imaging is necessary, i.e., MRI, CT, etc. You should have it evaluated as soon as you can, in case you have a fracture.
Good luck and thank you for the question.

Wow! Only way to tell for sure is an X-ray, but looks like you may have done some serious damage. What happened?

Impossible to tell without an x-ray.

No one could know for sure unless an X-ray is taken.

Dr. Stuart R. Snyder

Well there’s a sure way to find out . Go to an emergency room or urgent care and get an X-ray .

Hello,

An X-ray would need to be taken to determine a fracture.

The only way to know if your foot is broken is to have an xray. But a good indication that it may be broken is if you can not bear weight without pain.

A fracture really needs a radiograph to diagnose it as well as to determine the best treatment plan

Without any context other than a picture of your foot, this would be difficult to answer. I suggest you go get radiographs done of your foot for evaluation if you believe it is broken.

You need to go to your podiatrist or orthopedic doctor to have your foot examined and radiographed,

I recommend you make an appointment with a foot and ankle surgeon (podiatrist) for evaluation, diagnosis and treatment options
