A member asked:
Having xray 6 weeks after 3rd met orif, bone graft (6 mth nonunion). expect complete healing then or just some? swelling, pain/tenderness normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Doubt healed yet: Non union correction typically takes much longer to heal then routine healing of a metatarsal fracture. If this was a stress fracture, then it will also take longer then 6 weeks. Pain and swelling are normal at 6 weeks.
