this is an excellent explanation of metatarsal fractures. I had a 5th metatarsal base fracture. Somehow it is not healing well. 2nd x-ray shows bigger gap than 1st one. I am due back in 2 wks. Finger crossed!
Sometimes the initial healing and expected osteolysis of dead bone at the fracture ends can widen the fracture gap on x ray, does not have to mean patology! 😁
@@picturemedicine Hello doctor, I have a comminuted fracture of the 5th metatarsal, my doctor put it in a cast. When I went for a checkup after the 15th day, the boiling did not start. Is this normal? Can I get better without surgery? Please reply.
@@Kubra-wp6xm If he decided to do cast immobilization, then at least 4 weeks are needed to see some progress. But everyone does a follow up at 2 weeks.
Great illustrations 10 months ago, I suffered an avulsion fracture to the 5th metatarsal of my left foot. I was told to by urgent care to get my employer workers comp carrier to get me to an orthopedic surgeon asap. The urgent care doctor got me a script for a walking boot and a knee scooter and I went back to work. I work in retail and stand all day with a lot of walking and it took about a week to get the boot and scooter approved through WC and then it took 10 days to get sent to a general orthopedic doctor as my WC rep was on vacation. Still working keep in mind. by this time it started to displace from hairline to 2mm + gap. After 8 months of not healing and the gap extending to as far as the surrounding tissue would let it the 4th doctor told me I didn't really have to use the boot or the scooter anymore as they really weren't doing anything. He had me change to an ankle brace and now we are trying to get set up to remove the displaced bone so maybe the pain can go away and sew up the tendon. What are the concerns if they never do the surgery. I do a lot of heavy lifting, moving appliances and kitchen cabinets around at work which requires me to plant my feet to get leverage. No one has told me what the potential long term problems may be if they don't fix me. I am 55 years old with diabetes and an A1C of 7.3. I was checked for circulation issues in my foot and leg and they are fine with good blood flow. I am very concerned as this August will be a year since the initial injury and I am no farther along then I was 10 months ago. Except for continued pain and frustration. Sorry didn't mean to be so long winded
If there are no sings of healing for more than 9 month it is a pseudoarthrosis ( nonunion fracture) and that needs operational treatment to heal. You should consulte with a ortopedic surgeon.
Broken the base of my 5th metatarsal in two places (pseudo-jones and Jones fracture) and the surrounding ligaments have been damaged too 😭 really hoping I won't need surgery and it heals okay!! Thanks for the video breaking (hahaha) down the area!
so many thanks for this lesson. I just met the body of the fifth metatarsal bone and had surgery 4 weeks ago. hoping I can go back to the football pitch at the end of this year.

Very good video. I fractured my fifth metatarsal two weeks , and I'm stuck watching videos and inflating and deflating my airboot. Very exciting. Haha. The doctor who x-rayed my foot said I should be ok in six weeks, but the bone in my midfoot (the styloid process?) is sticking out quite a bit. Is that normal with the injury I have?
If your doktor thinks it will heal, it probably will, you will notice it, the pain will be less and less, if the process is going well. Do as instructed for 6 weeks then a check up, most heal, esspetialy in the young. :-) Displacement of 5mm +/- 1mm is always treated first with cast, becaus good healig rates.
Hello PictureMedicine, I have a comminuted fracture base 5th Metatarsal bone foot, my doctor does not recommend surgery. Is it okay in this case? I will be happy to share my X-ray. Thank you for answer. Perfect presentation about this topic.
@@picturemedicine hi i have the same type of fracture comminuted displaced psuedo Jones fracture. The bone is only 1*0.8 cm (small piece) and displaced by 5-6mm. What should I do?
If the fracture showes healing ( x ray and clinically ( no pain or significant reduction of pain on palpation of fracture site)), i would always advice to walk right after cast removal and geting back to normal activity as soon as posible. :-)
@@picturemedicine thank you so very much for replying . Another question : is it necessary to do physiotherapy with a specialist or can i do it myself using youtube videos ?
I sustained a 5th metatarsal base fracture on 8/23. X-rays showed intra-articular mildly displaced fracture of the fifth metatarsal base, transversely oriented. There is no dislocation. There are suture anchors projecting over the calcaneus. Prominent plantar calcaneal enthesophyte is note. I saw a podiatrist. He said it was borderline whether or not I need surgery. I was given an air cast and told nwb, or minimal heel walking when necessary. I see my podiatrist next week for follow up xrays. What questions should I ask?
If it stays with no dislocation, maybe it could go without an OP, if it dislocates more he will probably suggest OP. I would ask how big the healing rate is with an OP if one is indicated? Also if not dislocated ask what the healing rate is without an OP? This fracture heals in about 6 weeks, in your case already 3 weeks passed. Now soft callus has formed, it will be harder to operate, if it shows sing of healing and stability it could heal with cast and nwb per protocol.
@@picturemedicine I have been in an air cast since the day after the injury. I have been using a knee scooter and only do a bit of heel walking when I have to use the bathroom. I am concerned about possibly needing to have surgery after 4 weeks of healing. What are the chances of refracturing my foot without surgery? I haven't found a way to sleep in bed, as we have a tall bed frame. I have been sleeping on a sofa for 3 weeks now.
Hi PictureMedicine, I have a 5th Metatarsal bone foot fracture with a really wide gap and my bone is out of alignment yet my doctor did not do any repositioning it is in a cast right now. should i be worried about this. I will be happy to share my xray
Ver helpful thank you ❤ i broke my 5th metatarsal in 4 places its been 3 months and its not healed yet, i used to be a heavy smoker, can it be the only reason why its not healing?
Definitely not the only reason, when bone heals slower or not at all, it is a multifactorial problem. But the main problem in younger patients is fracture stability and in older fracture viability.
If there is no pain, yes full pressure can be put on the leg, if there is some pain try to be resonable with pressure for 2 more weeks, after that healing should be done, and the pain needs to be gone completely by that time. Mobilization of the ankle is ok. 🙂
Sir report of ct scan of mine is comminuted, displaced fracture base of fourth metatarsal is seen.linear undisplaced fracture base of second metatarsal is seen means I'm not getting this report so sir kindly let me know the proper treatment and after treatment wht should I avoide or what should I do as they are telling me to keep cast for one month I'm totally confused
If you have the initial X-ray in AP and profile view send to my e-mail in the channel description, for a more accurate comment. From the info in your comment a would say a month of immobilisation with two follow up examinations and X rays ( after 2 and 4 weeks ) is ok.
i have a proximal shaft fracture of my 5th metatarsal is that a jones fracture? also i have moderate sized heel spur as well the pain goes all the way up to my calf and now upper leg on the outside area is this typical ?
It is a shaft fracture if it is located on the diaphysis of the 5th metatarsal bone. A moderate spure usually gives pain in the location of the tendon attachement. Without clinical examination it is hard to point you into the right direction, could be for example a lower back associated problem, that proximal leg pain.
@@picturemedicine ok thank you well yes i do have spondlythesis in my lower back between the 4th and 5th lumbar I was dignosed at 11 they said I was probably born with it
Hi i have same 5th metatarsal fracture my dr.cast my foot my question cam walk with plaster will it delal the healing process or not. Currently m not feeling any pain
I have a dancer ( as you describe ) fructure at 5th MT and there is some gap betwen bones. it is about 5 mm and gap is smilar to V shape. My doctor told me to stay in cast for 45 days and see how it will go. Do you think this gap is normal or is it too widen?
AO surgery suggests that less then 5mm or 5 mm can by treated with cast. Haeling is more than 95% reported. So i wood say that the decision is correct.
