UBE & maybe others: W/ a 5th mt fracture treatment options usually consist of crutches, boot/ cast, or surgery. There is a chance that a fifth mt fracture may be a “jones fracture” & have a high risk for nonunion, or failure to heal properly, so timely medical intervention is key for an optimal outcome. Ask your physician about swimming, biking, or elliptical based on your type of fracture & stage of healing.
