Metatarsal fractures have different recovery times for each patient due to the degree of fracture damage, and younger people recover faster than older people. Metatarsal fractures are usually caused by a heavy object. A minor fracture with a transverse fracture line and no obvious displacement can be fixed in a cast and X-rayed after one month of fixation, and if the fracture line is blurred or disappears, the cast can be removed and the patient can move down to the ground. If the fracture line is blurred or disappears, the cast can be removed and the person can move to the ground. If the person has pain when walking, the test should be stopped, indicating that the person still needs to recuperate for a while. Usually, two months after the fracture, most of the fractures have returned to normal when re-examined by X-ray. For more serious comminuted fractures, conservative treatment is not advisable and is usually ineffective, requiring surgery with plate fixation, which takes about three months to return to normal after surgery and may extend the recovery time by another month in elderly patients. In conclusion, it is important for patients to ensure adequate rest for 100 days after the injury.
