No, you can't. Atleast I can't when I got one.
The growth plate in the 5th metatarsal usually fuses between the ages of 13-15 for girls and 15-17 for boys. However, individual variations in growth plate fusion timing can occur.
5 weeks ago i broke my second, third, and fourth metatarsal bones in my foot. I was meant to have my cast off last week, and the doctor said the third and fourth metatarsal bones weren't healed yet, so she said i had to have it on another 3 weeks! , over all i will have had it on 7 and a half weeks. What will happen after i get it off? will i be able to walk on it straight away? all answers /experience appreciated. :)
What shape are the metacarpals
The fifth metatarsal is considered an appendicular bone because it is part of the appendicular skeleton, which includes the bones of the limbs and their girdles.
Plural of metatarsal is metatarsus, they are the five long bones of the foot, and metacarpals are that of the hand

The fifth metatarsal is the bone on the outside edge of the foot. The distal part of it is the part farthest from the ankle and closest to the little toe.
Yes, you absolutely can. I am in a cast right now, thanks to my umping off a swing. I broke my 5th metatarsal in my foot and will have to wait 6-8 weeks for it to heal. No driving and I am on crutches for the duration.
It inserts onto the 5th metatarsal from the distal fibula
The bump on the lateral side just proximal to the 5th metatarsal is commonly referred to as a "bunionette" or tailor's bunion. It is a bony prominence that occurs due to the misalignment of the 5th toe, leading to pressure and enlargement of the bone at the base of the metatarsal. This condition can be exacerbated by tight footwear and may cause pain or discomfort. Treatment options include changing footwear, orthotics, and in some cases, surgery.

Signs of a broken metatarsal include intense pain, swelling, bruising, difficulty bearing weight on the affected foot, and a visible deformity. An X-ray is typically needed for a definitive diagnosis. It's important to seek medical attention if you suspect a broken metatarsal to receive proper treatment and avoid further complications.
