comminuted 2nd 3rd and 4th metatarsal

i was seeking a second opinion on recovery time. I am seeing a doctor but there is no other foot doctor in area. all 3 fractures are at the base of the metatarsals and all 3 have about 3 pieces located close together. my doctor has not recommened surgery but a fiberglss case for about 6 weeks than a removable cast for 4 more weeks before rehab. I would like your input. thanks

    Since I have not seen your X rays or examined your foot, it is not prudent for me to give you a second opinion. You might request a copy of your X rays and travel to wherever you can get a face to face 2nd opinion. Sorry.
