How many metatarsal bones in foot?

Metatarsals the the found within the Foot, although they are usually considered to be tow bones. They are long and make up the bulk of the length of the foot, they can often be felt in life by rubbinf along the top of the foot. These bones connect from the Tarsat Bones (the small bones at the back of the foot) to the Proximal Phalanx of the digits. The phallangess are the bones that are in the parts of the toe that is seen to be separate from the rest of the toes, not like the metatarsals which all look like they are joined up when viewed in life as they have skin wrapped around them all together. Each toe (including Hallucis, the big toe) has a metatarsal between its phalangees and the tarsal bones.


What is the difference in a fractured bone and a broken bone?

A cracked rib is only partially broken; the rib is still mostly intact and able to do its job, and doesn't need (or have) any special treatment except not doing what cracked it in the first place. A broken rib is more dangerous, as there are two loose ends floating around that may pierce internal organs and do a lot more damage to you. It requires medical attention to ensure this does not happen, but there is not much more that can be done than keep an eye on it.

How do you heal a fractured pinky finger?

It depends on the degree of the fracture. If it is just a crack/hairline fracture, then the treatment can be easy as buddy-taping it to the finger adjacent to it. If the fracture is such that the bone is separated into two, you may need to go to the doctor to have it put back into the right position for it to heal. The doctor may give you a finger splint to immobilize the finger. It takes around 4-8 weeks for it to heal completely. To check how severe the fracture is, an X-ray is needed.
