Puncture Wounds


Other common traumatic injuries treated by podiatrists are puncture wounds and foreign bodies.


A puncture wound occurs when you step on a sharp or jagged object and it breaks through the skin and enters the deeper tissue of the foot. These injuries typically occur in the warmer weather when people are tempted to go outside barefoot or when they walk around their house in stocking feet.
