Metatarsal fracture – our treatment
If you are affected by a metatarsal fracture, it is advisable to consult a specialist as soon as possible. In the Rosenheim region, our expert consultants at the Foot and Ankle Centre will be happy to assist you. In order to be able to determine the treatment that is most suitable and helpful for you and to estimate the recovery time, it is necessary to assess the severity of your metatarsal fracture more precisely. Conservative therapy without a plaster cast is rarely possible, as it is important for healing to keep your foot immobile for a longer period of time. If the fractured bone parts show (severe) displacement, surgery is inevitable to restore the function and resilience of your foot. Which surgical technique our experienced surgeons will apply in your case depends on the individual position and character of your metatarsal fracture and will be discussed in detail with you in a personal consultation.
