Patients with fractures of the fifth metatarsal usually need 6-10 weeks to walk normally. There are mainly simple fractures and comminuted fractures, and the details of how long it takes to walk normally are as follows: 1. Simple fracture: If it is a simple fifth metatarsal fracture, the degree of displacement is usually not large, and after the external fixation of the fracture, the clinical bony healing is usually achieved in 6-8 weeks, and the fracture line can be found to disappear completely by taking X-ray, and the patient can walk normally with weight. 2. Comminuted fracture: If it is a comminuted Fifth metatarsal fracture, usually need to use surgery, mainly due to instability fracture reasons, through surgery can restore the stability of the fracture end. After surgery, active rehabilitation is carried out to restore local blood supply, eliminate swelling and pain, and promote smooth healing of the fracture. It usually takes 8-10 weeks to achieve clinical healing, and an X-ray will also show that the fracture line has completely disappeared and the bone cortex has regained continuity, at which point it is possible to walk with weight.
