Fractured fifth metatarsal
Nine days ago I fractured my fifth metatarsal.
There is no displacement, and the fracture is close to the joint near the ankle.
I have been put in a removable walking cast (Donjoy).
I still have quite a bit of sweeling and discoloration along with pain.
How long can I expect these symptoms to occur?

The subtalar implants have been around for a while and while no surgery or implant is 100%, there are gratifying results. The best person to tell you what you need to know is the doctor who recommended this. You obviously need more information. If need be, get another opinion from another doctor who does this procedure. Good luck. Vivian A DPM
