In clinical situations where a 5th metatarsal fracture occurs, walking starts 15 days after the metatarsal fracture, which is a relatively short time to walk in clinical situations. This is because even in minor 5th metatarsal fractures, within 3 weeks of the fracture, i.e. within 21 days of the fracture, the fracture end growth is fibrous linkage and after 21 days the bone scabs begin to gradually form. After the appearance of the 5th metatarsal fracture, you should go to the hospital and take x-rays under the doctor’s examination to clarify the diagnosis and the type of fracture, displacement, etc. before taking the appropriate treatment. If the fracture is serious, surgical treatment should be considered. If the fracture is not widely displaced, conservative treatment can be considered. Before the patient walks on the ground, make sure to take x-rays after the doctor’s examination to clarify the fracture location and healing is more satisfactory before considering walking on the ground.
