Can you limp with a fracture of the base of the fifth metatarsal?

The majority of fractures of the base of the fifth metatarsal can be normalized, and after recovery there is no significant impact on function, walking without limp. The position of the base of the fifth metatarsal is special, belonging to the attachment point of the tendon, and sometimes it may be obviously displaced, so it is necessary to improve the local X-ray examination to accurately determine whether the fracture is obviously displaced or not. If there is no obvious displacement, the fracture should be immobilized by casting in a timely manner; if there is obvious displacement, the fracture should be surgically repositioned and immobilized in a timely manner. Properly repositioning and immobilization is the basis of fracture healing, and can be supplemented with medicines that activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis, such as Salvia divinorum tablets, and other medicines that promote fracture healing, such as deer melon polypeptide. Don’t smoke or drink alcohol, and eat more yam, angelica, milk, shrimp and other foods to help fracture healing. Regularly follow up the X-ray of the fracture site and avoid walking blindly with heavy loads to minimize the risk of fracture displacement, which will affect the healing of the fracture.
