Your doctor will tell you how to wear it.
Yes you get a walking boot.
A child typically wears a boot for a broken metatarsal for about 4 to 6 weeks, depending on the severity of the fracture and the child's healing progress. During this time, it's important to follow the doctor's instructions regarding weight-bearing activities and follow-up appointments to ensure proper healing. The boot helps stabilize the foot and protect the injury during recovery. Always consult a healthcare professional for personalized advice.
6 MONTHS
How long a cast is on depends on the location of the hairline fracture. In sensitive areas the cast will need to be worn longer.
Yes, it is generally recommended to wear a boot for a foot fracture at all times, especially when walking or bearing weight, to provide support and protect the injured area. However, you may be able to remove the boot for short periods while resting or during physical therapy, as advised by your healthcare provider. Always follow your doctor's specific instructions regarding boot use and recovery.
Yep. U can also get a cast
When you break your leg. Then, you go, to the dct. and then liike give you that.
Other than the cast you'll wear for a couple of months (and perhaps some pins, which are sometimes temporarily inserted to stabilize the fracture), you should be fine.
6 - 8 weeks. I have a spiral fracture in my left left of the fibula..This happened 4 weeks ago and I have been in a fiberglass cast ever since. I will be in this cast for 2 more weeks then I will be in a boot for 2-4 more weeks after. The drs have told me not to put weight on the leg as it could compress the 2 separate bone pieces together and make my fibula shorter than before my fall. I had a Spiral fracture in my distal fibula. There was no displacement (I got really lucky in that respect). The surgeon decided to just put me a in a walking boot. I had an appointment after a week and my doctor told me I could put some weight on it. The Fibula does not bear very much weight. I was walking with the boot after 2 1/2 weeks. After 4 weeks I don't even need the boot.
After a cast for a broken fibula, you may need to wear a walking boot or brace to provide support and protection as you gradually return to normal activities. Physical therapy exercises and stretches may also be recommended to help regain strength and mobility in the leg. It's important to follow your doctor's guidance on what to wear and how to progress in your recovery.
• IT WILL BE SORE FOR A WEEK OR TWO. TAKES A FULL 4-6 WEEKS TO HEAL COMPLETLY • Even after 6 weeks in a cast and having another x-ray my metatarsal was not completely healed in my foot, but some healing had taken place. I was not allowed to weight bear for 3 of those weeks. It takes several months for complete healing.
