5th MT base fracture
I had 5th mt base fracture due to foot inversion while playing cricket on 1st Feb.
Xrays of right foot were taken on 1st Feb immediately after injury.Hereby we have attached photos of the same.
For the first five days normal plaster was there. And after that i am having fibrecast plaster applied on my right leg. I was given suggestion to start limited weight bearing from 20th feb with cast shoe. And doctor advised to take plaster out on 6th March.
Please advise from first xrays after injury that if there is any crack or fracture visible.
Because there is no pain as of now in fibrecast.
I am little confused if i am having fracture or not.
