Typically, a metatarsal fracture in an adolescent is more rapid than in an adult because of the rapid growth of the bones, and recovery usually takes about 3 to 6 months. If a metatarsal fracture occurs in an adolescent, it is important to go to a hospital for treatment. Depending on the condition of the metatarsal fracture, conservative treatment or surgery may be indicated. If the fracture is simple and not displaced, conservative treatment, such as external fixation with a plaster cast, can be chosen. If the fracture has obvious displacement, or even a comminuted fracture, it should be treated with surgery in time, such as through surgical incision and reduction, and use internal fixation, and also apply antibiotics such as cefixime and amoxicillin to prevent infection after surgery.
