55 Rampant Health Myths That Need to Die

Myth: If you can walk on it, it’s not broken

‘Just because you can move your foot, ankle, or other body part, or walk on it, after an injury does not mean that it is not broken. Ligaments, tendons, and muscles hold the bones together, and a broken bone can still move.

Moving a broken bone in some cases can cause it to shift, separate or displace, necessitating correction by an orthopaedic surgeon with a cast or even surgery.’ – Steven Neufeld, MD, orthopaedic surgeon with The Centers for Advanced Orthopaedics
