A member asked:
Broken my 5th metatarsal midshaft five weeks ago. i have a lot of pain. its not healing. why dont they operate?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Seek 2nd opinion: Many 5th MT fractures can heal without surgery, but one can generally weight-bear earlier when fixed with an intramedullary screw. Always reasonable to seek a second opinion. A X-ray review in person or on line can accomplish this
