How long does it take to heal from a basal fracture of the fifth metatarsal in the left foot

The healing time for the fracture of the base of the fifth metatarsal of the left foot usually takes about 3 months. Improve the local X-ray examination to initially determine the displacement of the fracture. If there is no obvious displacement, you can choose conservative treatment with plaster fixation. During the period of plaster fixation, pay attention to the tightness of the cast, and adjust it in time if it is too loose or too tight. You can take oral medications to activate blood circulation and resolve blood stasis, such as blood circulation and pain relief capsules, and other medications to promote fracture healing, such as bone peptide tablets. If the fracture is obviously displaced, which affects the healing and functional recovery of the fracture, surgical repositioning and internal fixation treatment should be performed after the local swelling subsides, pay attention to rest and regular follow-up.
