Depends on severity.
Not a good idea. The dislocation should be reduced and the foot placed in a cast.
There are a lot of bones in the foot and ankle.If you dislocated your toe,you can walk(probably in pain).If you dislocate your ankle,you'll be carried into the operating room.
You need to see an orthopedic surgeon.
Absolutely not! Further weight bearing on an injured foot of presumed dislocation can cause more shifting of the anatomical displacement of bones, ligaments, tendons, and joints. See a podiatrist immediately if you have any form of injury to the foot or suspect dislocation.
You should not. You need to seek medical attention.
Not recommended to walk until you see orthopedics or podiatrist.
You should not walk on a dislocated foot. It could lead to significant disability and pain.
no
You can walk on a dislocated foot but you certainly should not since that may cause further damage
No, if it is still dislocated.
I would recommend you have your foot evaluated as soon a possible for treatment options by a foot and ankle surgeon (podiatrist). I would not recommend walking on the foot until you are evaluated
It depends on what bones are dislocated. But usually it is not recommended to walk on such an injury. You should have the dislocation either reduced under anesthesia and fluoroscopy, if possible. If not, surgery may be required to fix the dislocation.
Never do this!! Need to be braced, splinted and possibly relocated
