Numbness after healing of metatarsal fracture may be caused by poor local blood circulation, peripheral soft tissue or nerve injury and other factors.
1. Poor local blood circulation: After healing of metatarsal fracture, poor local blood circulation may lead to local numbness. Generally, after elevating the affected limb, the venous return will be accelerated and the local numbness will disappear.
2. Peripheral soft tissue or nerve injury: If the peripheral soft tissue or nerve injury occurs when the metatarsal fracture occurs, although the fracture end is healed, the peripheral soft tissue or nerve injury is not fully recovered, then the phenomenon of local numbness will occur, and the patient should cooperate with the professional doctor as soon as possible in order to promote the later recovery.
If the metatarsal fracture is numb after healing, it is recommended to go to the regular hospital as soon as possible for consultation and examination, to clarify the cause of numbness after fracture healing, and to take timely and effective therapeutic measures.
