5th metatarsal base fracture

2024-11-26 14:42:15
So I twisted my leg on 18th of October. After being in the cast for 4 weeks I have started walking right now still in the cast and there is still some pain while walking only. NO swelling . So when should I get the cast removed and what should I wear after getting the cast removed. These are the recent xrays.

Preferable to keep cast for another 10 to 15 days if pain still there. This fracture is more prone for non-union. If it doesnt unite it may require surgery. Please follow up with your orthopedic regularly if pain still persists even after plaster removal.
