Hello I had 5th metatarsal bone fracture about 40 days ago. For the 24 days i remained in kaccha plaster instead of having pakka plaster after 1 week. Is it going to affect my recovery time?

• Contrast bath---It is a form of treatment where a limb or the entire body is immersed in warm water followed by the immediate immersion of the limb or body in ice water. This procedure is repeated several times, alternating hot and cold. Note that the treatment should always end in the ice water, as heat will induce the body's inflammatory response, while cold helps to decrease inflammation. • Gentle Stretching of Hand Muscles.
