It occurs when the foot is compressed with considerable force between two hard surfaces. This can happen as a result of a car accident, heavy objects falling, or heavy machinery running over the foot.

When a foot or ankle crushed foot injury occurs, you need to see a foot doctor immediately. Your injuries will become more dangerous with time, and infections, necrosis, and other severe conditions are likely to develop without medical intervention. Acute compartment syndrome occurs primarily after foot injuries. The longer you wait, the more difficult to diagnose without a physician. Please treat your condition as a medical emergency. Even if you are unsure whether a bone has broken or soft tissue is damaged, see a foot doctor or podiatrist immediately.
