It is possible to play basketball after a metatarsal fracture has healed. Metatarsal fractures are often caused by sprains or heavy objects; if there is no obvious displacement and the fracture is stable, the fracture can be treated conservatively by external fixation with plaster or support. If the displacement of the fracture is obvious after the injury, the general treatment will be surgery for internal fixation with steel plate screws; no matter it is internal fixation or external fixation, after the fracture is completely healed, normal function can be restored through rehabilitation exercises. After the fracture is completely healed, normal physical exercise can be performed. Playing basketball, soccer, and more intense sports is not a problem. If you have a fracture of the metatarsal bone, you should go to a regular hospital in time for consultation and treatment, and carry out rehabilitation exercises under the guidance of the doctor, do not handle it on your own to avoid delaying the condition.
