Excision Fracture Fragment Foot, Simple Procedure
Excision of a fracture fragment of the foot is a surgical procedure performed to address a type of injury where a small piece of bone becomes separated from the main bone due to a traumatic injury. This procedure is often recommended to patients who were not able to find relief through conservative methods including physical therapy, casting, and pain medications. During this procedure, the surgeon will carefully remove the detached fragment to ensure it does not interfere with joint movement and function.
When is This Procedure Necessary?
This surgical procedure is considered medically necessary if the fragment causes significant pain, limited mobility, or impedes healing. Before recommending surgery, the surgeon will encourage the patient to explore conservative therapies, especially physical therapy. However, if the patient completes 1-2 months of physical therapy and does not recognize any relief, they will begin to consider surgical intervention.

What To Expect
Prior to the procedure, the surgeon will order medical imaging to complete a detailed diagnosis and surgical plan. Patients will be under general anesthesia to ensure their comfort throughout the procedure. The surgeon will begin making an incision over the region of the fracture. They will then use small, specialized tools to identify the fragment and then remove it carefully, realign any structures, and will stabilize the area with screws or plates. When the goal of the procedure has been achieved, the surgeon will close the incision and the patient will be monitored as they are removed from anesthesia.
Following surgery, patients are usually advised to keep weight off the affected foot for a period of time to allow for proper healing. Physical therapy is often recommended to improve range of motion, strength, and flexibility in the foot and ankle. Pain management strategies such as medication or ice therapy may be utilized to help manage discomfort during the recovery process. In some cases, a gradual return to weight-bearing activities may be prescribed under the guidance of a healthcare provider or physical therapist to prevent reinjury and promote long-term healing.
