It has been 50 days since the fracture of the proximal fifth metatarsal of the left foot, and the fr

The base of your fifth phalange must have been fractured in the original course of your varus sprain. If this is the case, and your symptoms persist, consider injuries to the lateral collateral ligaments of the ankle (anterior talofibular ligament, calcaneofibular ligament) and peroneal tendons. Because these two points are very easy to ignore for our usual diagnosis.

Of course, the first floor is also correct in saying that temporary dysfunction is caused by immobilization for a long time without walking. Therefore, it is recommended that you observe and exercise for a period of time, and if it does not get better by then, you need to consider going to the hospital for a review according to what I said above.

Proximal fracture of the fifth metatarsal?

Is it a fracture of the base of the fifth metatarsal?

This is one of the more difficult metatarsal fractures to heal.

According to your current situation.

There is no better way.

Of course, you can't sit back and wait for it.

This time can go down to the ground.

Remember to take it one step at a time.

Don't be weight-bearing! It will be fine later!

Remember to do more check-ups and pay attention to any other injuries.

You can also take some Chinese patent medicines like Gu Yuling.

It's better and faster.

Your question is too professional!

It's not that I'm passing by, and there are very few professional questions here.

Good luck!

Hello, please pass the X-ray to see, you can confirm the diagnosis.

Analysis:

Hello, according to the information you provided, you have been fractured at the base of the fifth metatarsal for 7 weeks, and the fracture line is blurred, indicating that the fracture is healing well.

Guidance: Before the fracture heals and during functional exercises, local pain and swelling are normal and need to be adhered to. It is recommended that you soak your feet in hot water frequently and strengthen the weight-bearing walking exercise of the affected limb. If you exercise well, you will resume normal walking activities in about 2-3 months.

If the local pain is not painful, you can run.

This kind of fracture theoretically requires anatomical reduction and strong internal fixation, and the postoperative plaster fixation time is much shorter, so as not to cause ankle stiffness caused by long-term immobilization.

Wu Gang of Yizhuang Tongren Hospital.

You can probably understand that your condition should be a 5th metatarsal basal avulsion fracture, and there are different types according to the position and displacement of the fracture line. **Methods vary depending on the patient's age, occupation, and requirements. Large displacement may result in nonunion of fractures.

This is where the peroneus brevis muscle and the third peroneal muscle are attached, and nonunion of fractures can cause weak strength in both tendons, i.e., valgus weakness of the foot. Theoretically, athletes or those with high requirements should have surgery**, and no special requirements can be put in a cast or bandage in valgus.

Therefore, the specific how to ** depends on the specific situation and specific requirements of your fracture. **This kind of fracture is not difficult, it is not necessary to go to Jishuitan Hospital, of course, Jishuitan Hospital represents the highest level of trauma orthopedics in China.

First, the plaster loosens I think the possible cause is that the swelling of the foot is more likely to subside, and it can promote wound repair during immobilization, but if it is loosened, the plaster immobilization loses its meaning. It is recommended to re-play.

Second. When you say right angles, you may be talking about the functional position of the ankle joint fixed at right angles, right? Personally, I don't think this is too significant, it is intended to maintain good function of the ankle joint after the cast is removed in the future, but your ankle joint itself is not damaged, and the fixation time does not need to be too long, so it has little impact on the ankle joint.

So I think that fixing the ankle in a comfortable position is a resting position. As for the cast requirements, it is recommended to try to have a mild valgus position, so that the tendon relaxes and the fracture is relatively easy to heal without traction.

Of course, the right-angled plaster cast can also be relatively relaxed to the peroneal brevis muscle.

Third. I really don't know the specific situation of your fracture, if you are allowed to send an X-ray to take a look. As for the operation, it can be said that it is a minor operation, and it only takes a few dozen minutes after the combined spinal-epidural anesthesia is applied, and there is no obvious pain after the operation.

Therefore, there is no need to be scared or nervous if you need surgery.

It is recommended that you go to a regular hospital for a follow-up.

Problem Analysis:

Hello, the occurrence of metatarsal fracture of the right foot, immobilization after fracture, and after fixation, it will go through the stages of acute edema, callus formation, callus shaping gas, recovery period, etc., it takes about 6-8 weeks, and now I have been resting for about a month, so I can get out of bed and move after a while.

Suggestions: It is recommended that during the period of rest, it is recommended to carry out systematic functional exercises, avoid atrophy of the muscles and nerves of the feet, eat more foods with high calcium content and rich collagen content in the diet, and cooperate with Calci, Panax notoginseng elderberry tablets and other drugs to assist**.
