Typically, it is possible to move your toes in small increments after fracturing the third metatarsal bone in the right foot. Although the bone breaks at this point, the tendon does not necessarily break. Muscle contraction can drive the tendon to pull the bone for movement. At this time, the toes can only be moved to a small extent, and there is obvious pain. The patient should go to a regular hospital in time for regular treatment.
For the third metatarsal fracture of the foot with good fracture alignment, conservative treatment, such as external fixation with plaster, is usually adopted, and rehabilitation exercises are needed after the plaster is removed after 6 weeks.
For third metatarsal fractures with significant displacement of the fracture, prompt surgical treatment is required, with incision and reduction, and internal fixation with plates or pins. Subsequently, rehabilitation exercises are carried out, and most patients can obtain good recovery results.
