A member asked:

I have a microfracture cuboid & cuneiform but it wasnt diagnosed for 2 months. 2 weeks tensor i walked on it & boot for 6 weeks not healing now what?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Non-Healed fx: You may need additional immobilization (longer time in the boot.) i would go to a podiatrist and see if they can recommend whether conservative vs. Surgical intervention would better suit you.
