A member asked:

My 2 year old has a subtle buckle fracture at base of 4th metatarsal. walks on heel but otherwise fine. no pain, no complaining. does he need a cast?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Cast Buckle Fracture: Yes, it should be casted up to 3 weeks for optimal healing. Kids are pretty rambunctious and you do not want this to progress to a full fracture.
