just wanted to give those with this type of fracture some hope, all I could find online was the horror stories, so here is a good one, fractured it on a cruise on the 25 May, put on a boot non weight bearing for 4 weeks, at 5 week appointment told I could weight bear and transition to a shoe!! Don't think the worse, these fractures heal without surgery with plenty of rest and following doctors advice! Coulnt get a fracture of the fifth metertarsal worse, so as at today 1july I am in transition to a shoe!!!
Awesome!!!! That's quite the fracture! Did u get a new xray? Would love to see
No unfortunately left my phone in my car!! So couldn't get a picture if it, but there was significant callus, which meant kicking the boot to the kerb!! Just have to get use to life without it!
Delighted for you I broke mine on 17th April was back with orthopaedic last Monday was told to put weight on foot in boot for two weeks and then try walkin in shoe was told I have osteoporosis bad and is slow at healing because bone is porous hope everything goes well for you
