Jones Fracture and tendon pull

December 18 I did the damage to my foot – stepped on a small ball of ice wearing Dansko hard sole shoes which meant the left ankle turned flat doing the damage.
It has not healed at all and I am now in the process of trying an EMI bone growth stimulator.
What are your thoughts on this and will I ultimately be able to avoid having this break pinned and being on crutches for probably 6 weeks or more?

    I have successfully used a bone stimulator for this injury. Patient compliance is of the utmost importance.As long as the bone has the potential to heal and there is nothing interposed between the broken ends, then you have a chance.
