Experienced Team
Fractures are a core part of our surgical practice. Our board-certified surgeons treat broken bones throughout the foot, toes, and ankle, even when it's scary for you.
Modern fixation techniques, titanium hardware where needed, and our integrated physical therapy program mean shorter recovery times and better long-term outcomes.
What we can treat
- Toe fractures: from a stubbed toe on a bedpost to displaced phalangeal fractures
- Foot fractures: metatarsals, tarsals, navicular, cuboid, and more
- Lateral malleolus fractures (outer ankle)
- Medial malleolus fractures (inner ankle)
- Bimalleolar and trimalleolar fractures (both sides of the ankle)
- Talus fractures
- Stress fractures throughout the foot and ankle
- Pediatric growth plate fractures
Whatever type you have, we can fix it.
Not every fracture needs surgery. We'll tell you honestly.
Many ankle fractures heal beautifully with proper casting and controlled weight-bearing. Others need surgical fixation to ensure proper alignment and stability. We don't push surgery when it's not needed, and we don't delay it when it is.
Faster recovery with in-house physical therapy
After ankle fracture repair, the difference between healing and full recovery is physical therapy. Every Rimrock patient has access to our in-house physical therapist who works alongside our surgeons every day. No referral gaps. No outside PT trying to guess what the surgeon did.
Our goal: you get back to normal activity, not just "healed."

Frequently Asked Questions About Ankle Fractures
Can a podiatrist treat a broken foot, toe, or ankle?
Yes. Board-certified foot and ankle surgeons are specifically trained to diagnose and treat fractures throughout the foot, toes, and ankle, including surgical repair when needed. You can call our office directly to be seen and treated.
Should I go to the ER for a broken foot or ankle?
For most suspected fractures, calling our office first is faster and gets you in front of a specialist immediately. If the injury involves an open wound, bone visible through the skin, severe deformity, or numbness and loss of circulation, go to the emergency room. Otherwise, call (406) 256-0077 and we'll evaluate your injury and start treatment the same day when our schedule allows.
How soon can Rimrock see me for a suspected fracture?
We prioritize same-day appointments for acute injuries including suspected fractures. Call (406) 256-0077 and describe what happened. If we can fit you in today, we will, and if surgery is needed, we perform it at Northern Rocky Surgery Center.
What makes Rimrock's approach to fractures different?
We evaluate each fracture individually and tell you directly what it needs. When surgical fixation is indicated, our surgeons perform it at Northern Rocky Surgery Center. In-house physical therapy means no gaps in communication between surgeon and therapist during recovery.
Why see a foot and ankle surgeon instead of going to the ER or urgent care?
Urgent care and the ER can rule out some emergencies, but they can't deliver definitive fracture care. That still requires a specialist. Calling us first gets you in front of a board-certified foot and ankle surgeon immediately, with a definitive plan the same day when our schedule allows.
