X-ray: Avulsion of the base of the 5th metatarsal at the insertion of the peroneus brevis muscle would be the most common cause. An ossicle at the same point could also be painfully arthritic. An x-ray will prove the Dx. Healing simply takes careful neglect over time.

A 49-year-old male asked:
Calcaneus avulsion fracture from rolled ankle 5 weeks ago. Swellings gone, but unless my foot is elevated, goes purple. Is this normal? Still too painful for weight-bearing. Can I wiggle my toes and flex my ankle to promote healing? Thank you?
