5th Metatarsal Base Fracture Foot
The 5th metatarsal is the bone on the outer aspect of your foot. This is commonly injured when you roll over on your foot. The muscle pulls so hard on the bone to stop you falling over it actually breaks the bone! This common foot fracture will heal on its own without any surgery most of the time. Simply rest, ice, compression and elevation will help it on its way!

I'm a 22 years old guy and i had boxer's fracture two weeks ago.I took the splint off after two weeks. The doctor told me to wear it for 3 weeks but i had exams, now i applied crepe bandage, can my fracture heal on only crepe bandage? Please reply I'm very anxious i have exams in 10 days.
Any updates?
Hi good morning i juat want to ask it the same to my elbow to what happen to you but the doctor said to me they need to cemented to my arms but still my hands not better can you help me🙏
I want this
What no one talks about is the ripple effects of trying to shove your wrist bone up to your neck bone. I hurt all through my upper body from the impact.
Hi, I have had my distal radius surgery done 15 days ago. My stitches have now come of but the doctor has still put me in a long arm cast for two more weeks due to ulnar fracture, is it normal to be put in a long arm cast?
Much information needed
❤
Is it normal if a 50 year old person got it also will he be normal within 6 weeks?is there any other advice for him?
hello sir, I have fracture in my right hand and it near little finger knuckle. doctor just use strapping for 6 week because in the X ray my bone was straight. after remove strapping, my little finger still have Rotational Deformity? Do I need a surgery to heal this problem?
Hi, I'm in a situation where my cast is making my thumb numb/senseless. I can move it aorund but have almost no feeling when I touch it. Also the center of my palm/end of my thumb is kind of aching/hurting. Do you have any advice? (It's on my right hand btw, and I'm right handed normally). My doctor says nothing, but I know it's because the cast is irritating my vains. Do you know what to do? (I'm on my 6th day with cast, and already been through 3 due to irritation. - They told me 4 weeks of this). Sincerly, Kaya
Sounds like you need to get it check out as it's not normal to get numbness. The cast can be too tight or causing pressure
Thank you sir
This happened to me 4 months ago , only started physiopherapy 3 weeks ago , still in pain and still cant straighten my arm properly , yet my doctor thinks i am ok to go back to work 🤷♂️👎
How is your mobility now?
@@technowikinger523 got the strength back , but the extension in the arm isnt great , still going through physiopherapy at the moment as they are trying to straighten it still but i am not very hopeful tbh 🤷♂️👎
@@ianmeadows5565 Had a radius head fracture 10 days ago, 4 days ago surgery Mason 3 with 4 screws 2cm in the head . The Chirurg and doc say 14 days cast than I can start ex-flex movements in physio and another 14 days than I can start suprination and Pronation. I hope that isn't too late.
@@technowikinger523 honestly and truthfully , i still think that i need surgery , i hope you recovery goes well , i was told that i should of started physio sooner so if you can get that in place fast then you should be in good hands , for the record i only sustained a radial head fracture in my right arm so nothing compared to what you have had thats for sure.
Is this guy OK
You look terrified - like a hostage video. Yes, it was helpful.
😂😂🤦🏾
This video is terrible
Not that informative need to see a physical exam performed
Thank you so much Dr
Will you lose hair after the surgery?
Not on your head. You may have the hair on your wrist shaved off to reduce the risk of infection if you have an operation. If you develop complex regional pain syndrome then you can also experience hair loss.
I broke my ulnar and radius( not very badly)and im still 17 year old will a surgery require for me im currently with a cast.. the hair i will lose won’t grow back or will grow after 7 months
My 5th metacarpal is oblique fracture, 10weeks back, and i wore a splint for 6weeks, 3weeks back back splint is removed, till now fractured line visible on x -ray, can i use my hand to typing computer......
Hello sir, my 5th metacarpal was fractured (oblique fracture ), and it's just in position, doctor said just split is enough for 6weeks. 15days back split is removed, now 2months and 10days completed, but fracture lines still visible, how long it will take to go off fracture lines on x-ray, metacarpal fractured lines still visible after 2months??? how long it will take to disappear fractured lines on X-ray.. can I do physiotherapy because, fractured lines are still visible now. please tell me, thanks in advance....
The fracture will be visible on the xray for some time. If it is not painful you are safe to do physiotherapy. However you should be guided by the treating clinicians who have seen your xray.
@@fractureinfo thank you 😊

It can take many months - year for the fracture line to completely disappear. Safe to do physio once pain settling.
How is your hand now??
@@hollowinthecut7267 what about yours just removed splint my pinky feels weird cant bend yet and have a huge nuckle bro give me advise

Give me some suggestions, please, thanks in advance....
Sorry to hear about your injury. Be guided by the improvement in pain rather than the x-ray. The x-ray will take several months for the fracture line to disappear.
@@fractureinfo when will i use my hand for casual works, like eating food, typing computer etc, 2months completed now, fracture line is visible, is it common, how many months its take to go off that fracture line on x-ray........
@@vijayramaraju3522 I think you need to be guided by your treating team. If the fracture has healed then you should be able to start to return to these activities.
Thanks for your video and advice, I sustained this injury this morning after falling off my bike. My fracture is ‘non-displaced’ so my doctor has put it in a temporary cast for 5 days. He said after 5 days, it is vital to start serious mobility to ensure that I regain full range of movement. He said it would be painful but necessary. He said there those who wait for weeks until pain goes away to start mobility who end up with months and months of mobility exercises and subsequent pain, and those who start mobility after 5 days who regain mobility within a few weeks. What is your opinion on this?
Be guided by your treating clinician. In the first few days it can be painful to move the elbow so resting in a cast is appropriate for some patients. I agree that prolonged immobilisation in a cast will result in needing to do a lot or stretching exercises to get the movement back.
It sounds like you have a good doctor. I also broke the radial had three months ago and started physical therapy right away (after three days), but unfortunately, it was not intense enough. As of today, I can't reach my full range of motion. I highly recommend you fight the pain and work very hard, every day, if you want to achieve the full range of movement asap. Good luck!
@@niranturgeman2018 hi I have same injury .. same like thumbnail shown not really big .. but I can move my arm n everything it’s been 8 weeks now but will it recover fully like cartilage damage or something ..bone has filled up but I still feel when I try to straighten arm .. to 180• .. straight ..
No saw involved
this is the best radial fracture video i've scene thus far.....thanks
Sling not needed at all if the break is stable. Need to get movement as soon as possible.
This can be true, but it is guided by the pain levels experienced by the patient.
I have been driving with my left arm in a sugar tong splint ( Fractured distal radius non dislocated ) and sling since day 1..and a 5-speed stick shift at that! Not easy..not ideal but doable..I mean I have to drive to work! I just have to remain in 1st gear a little bit longer when making a turn as I can't shift from 1st to 2nd and hold the wheel too! Now, going on 5 weeks, I can use my left hand to guide the wheel on turns and shift! We do what we have to do!! It's not illegal but I know it's frowned on...I have managed in FL rush hour countless times doing 60 miles each day!
Watching this with a plastered wrist
My metacarpal bone head is missing what should I do
its definitely broken. i tried many solutions but none worked.its best to go to your doctor to see if its possible to fix it back or if surgery is needed.i had a surgery 3 days ago.5th metacarpal neck fracture.now im wearing a cast an two k-wires fixations in X position.and i also waited fro 5-6 days til i decided to check it by my doctor.my advice:its better to let pro's to fix it...to avoid later complications
After plaster my metacarpal bone head is missing what should I do
Sir theek hua ki nahi
Move fingers even when taped? Like wiggle them? Like day 2 after first injury? Yes, a family member has this, and unfortunately a shorter finger now after 6 weeks of healing. Is there anyway to fix the short finger? And he says he feels a bump when he grabs things, like a bar or steering wheel, a bump on the underside. How long till he doesnt have pain there? Sorry for all the questions
How is the healing going?
My radial head removed .I am going to gym .. any problem it's comes
It is difficult to offer advice on this online. You should seek advice from your surgeon.
You have to avoid heavy weight , and keep close eyes to the range of elbow. Pain , check with Dr if you doubt any arthrose can be appear.
I had my radial head removed 2 weeks ago and can't fully extend and bend my arm. I also had hardware installed on my ulna. How are you doing now
now your hand is better?
I just got this boot today at the doctors thank you for more information about it
wishing you a speedy recovery
Is surgery necessary???
Surgery is rarely required. If there is significant angulation (bend) whereby it would affect function, or the bone comes out through the skin, or if the finger is twisted the treating team might consider surgery.
@@fractureinfo it's cracked and lil bit out of the joint? What if I don't want to have surgery?? what's gonna be it's disadvantages?
@@sawwingyt2061 It is impossible to give advice over the internet without seeing the xrays and your hand. Unfortunately we do not offer this service. If the injury involved the joint itself then sometimes surgery may be advised to restore the joint surface. Ultimately this is your hand and the team treating you should advise you on the pros and cons of each option to allow you to evaluate these options and make an informed choice as to whether you would like surgery. Should you choose non operative management then this decision should be supported and the team will treat you as best as possible without an operation. I hope this is helpful.
@@fractureinfo i suffered a 5th metacarpal neck fracture and i waited for 6 days til i decided to visit my doctor.after the xray check where it was clearly a neck fracture...they decided that i had to undergo a surgery.and i had one 3 days ago...now im wearing a cast and two k-wires (X method) fixation.i didnt took it very serious at first cause i didnt felt much pain at the day of injury...only small swelling under my lil finger and hemaetoma on palm.and i could make fist and my little finger didnt curved as its usual by boxers fracture.it felt only stiff and with lil pain.no numbness either.thats why i believed that it was just a bruise and that its going away after few days but no...after i noticed when making fist that the 5th knuckle is missing and looking like a hole...which is also a sign of boxers fracture...i decided to visit a doctor.and sadly it was a boxers fracture.
@@sawwingyt2061 how is it man
Recently I hurt my wrist, i’m not sure if it’s just a torn muscle or if I sprained it. I can freely move my hand but it hurts. It’s a little bruised but not swollen. Any idea of what it could be?
Hi Maddy, if the wrist is still painful after 2 weeks it would certainly be worth going back to be checked out. A broken scaphoid can be difficult to see on initial xrays. Sometimes you can see it on a repeat xray as the bone is trying to heal. If the wrist is very sore and the xray is normal a MRI scan might be needed to check it out in more detail.
looks like you're posing for a mug shot.
After urgent care visit, 2 sets of X-rays, an orthopedic dr visit and a CT scan, the only information I’ve gotten is “it may not need surgery”. Probably not a terrible break but it’s been a month and while mobility has improved, many gripping and arm extension movements are out of the question. This video is the best info I’ve found. Thanks.
How are you today?
how did it recover?
After a year of working with resistance bands and mace, I’m able to extend it almost straight. Strength is about 90%. MRI showed it was broken worse than the orthopedic surgeon initially thought. Surgery may have helped but at 66, losing range of motion was a concern. Thanks for asking!
Thank u so much for ur advice
You're welcome 😊
Very informative. I am going in for an X ray tomorrow but its 2 weeks since I broke my wrist and its been in a splint and I have followed your advice about keeping my fingers moving. I cant quite make a fist yet but mobility is returning. Thanks as this helped heaps. I was loathe to go to hospital due to Covid as I have comorbitities and havent completed my vaccine course yet. However I let my GP know as it wasnt getting better very fast and she arranged an outpatient appt. and Xray so I didnt have to sit 4 hours in A and E. This video helped such a lot that I subscribed.
I also had my wrist broken it affectided all my fingers in this case only you can make it better just moove your fingers with your other hand l at a Time bend it to your palm
I didn't need it
I'll only use it 2 time and I can move hand
It needed me
I dont want to know all your secrets cause ill tell its hard enough being alone with myself, I dont know how long ill be holding on, I know you tried your hardest I know you meant well but you pushed me to the edge and I slipped and then I fell I dont know how long I'll be holding on

Hi there, when I press my scaphoid, I feel a strong tingling in my index finger. My hand was fractured 10 years ago due to an accident. I'm not able to find a connection between scaphoid and tingling index finger. Can you offer some advice please?
this sounds unusual and we cant offer adivce online. the superficial radial nerve runs in this area and supplies sensation to to nail side of the inde finger and thumb.
ik its been three years but i just fell off my bike and my wrist is swollen but i can still move it do i have to go get an xray??
it would be advised to seek medical attention and if necessary have an xray.
My ulna was broken and today my cast is removed... After how many days from now can i get back to play basketball and hit gym?
this is guided by your symptoms. generally 4-6 months following injury for these sports.

Hey, @@aguybeingadude9015 it will be around the 3-6 month mark for most injuries. Guided by pain really.
