Bone fissures are actually a type of fracture, characterized by cracks in the cortical bone, but the stability of the bone remains intact. In the early stages of a bone fissure, immobilization is necessary, along with appropriate cold compresses and rest. After the acute phase, warm compresses can be applied, symptomatic treatment is given, and soaking the feet may be helpful to improve peripheral circulation, aiding in the healing of the fracture. However, immobilization should still be maintained, avoiding excessive walking and activities that might worsen the severity of the fissure.
