Distal metatarsal fractures, also known as metatarsal head fractures, are a common type of metatarsal fracture and are commonly caused by sprained feet, smashed feet, and traffic accidents and other external violent injuries that result in distal metatarsal fractures. A distal metatarsal fracture can have the following clinical symptoms: 1. pain in the injured area, especially when the foot is moving, 2. swelling, local bruising and petechiae due to bleeding at the fracture end, which is caused by bleeding into the subcutaneous area, and individual patients can also smell the bone rubbing sensation. If the distal metatarsal fracture is undisplaced or mildly displaced, conservative treatment with brace or cast fixation and oral medication to promote fracture healing can be chosen. If the fracture is significantly displaced and there is a significant deformity, then surgical treatment by incision or closed reduction should be chosen.
