A member asked:
Can a knee injury/weight gain lead to a metatarsal stress fracture?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Stress fracture: A knee injury or weight gain alone won't cause a metatarsal stress fracture. What they will do is put added stress on the foot/feet. Overtime, if nothing changes, stress fractures can develop.
