Can the 5th metatarsal fracture heal to the same extent as before?

The fracture of the 5th metatarsal bone can heal to the same extent as the original, but it takes a longer time to heal to the same extent as the original, which may take about 1 year, because after the fracture gets regular treatment in time, the fracture end will have bone scab growth during the scab growth period in the early stage, which is relatively large and may be seen to be locally protruding or swollen in appearance. However, as the bone grows slowly, the fracture will be gradually shaped, and after 1 year of shaping, the fracture end is basically similar to the shape of the opposite fracture end, especially in children or adolescents, the shaping ability is relatively strong, and basically there is no big difference between the fracture and the original after healing.
