5th metatarsal fracture (undiaplaced)
18 days ago I had 5th metatarsal bone fracture. Doctor recommended me temporary cast for 10 days. After 10 days he suggested for permanent cast or walker boot for next 4 week. I preferred POP cast and its been 9 days of POP cast.
My query is "now can I remove my POP cast and use walker boot?"
When can I put some load on my leg, till now i have not put any load on left leg. I am using crutches to walk. I want to use walker boot as i have to travel in train to attend an important event.
