BMXER Posted April 8, 2012 Posted April 8, 2012 I have fractured my 5th metatarsal (left foot), if you have been through such a fracture before please let me know how long I will be off the bike - even the stat trainer !!
seven Posted April 8, 2012 Posted April 8, 2012 How did you fracture it? Did it need alignment and fixation, or was it just left? If stable and no fixators was placed, it should be stable enough to take a bit of stat training from about 3-4 weeks onward. But you don't want to risk a fall etc. untill it has been confirmed that it healed (about 6-8 weeks)
Gleed Speed 2 Posted April 8, 2012 Posted April 8, 2012 Hi,I have a non displayced fractured 5th Metatarsal.My Ortho has has got me on Crutches with no weight bearing on my foot for six weeks wearing a air cast.I am in my 5th week now.
seven Posted April 8, 2012 Posted April 8, 2012 I'd say if you have no pain, indoor would be fine Your 6week follow-up should be the last 1, and you'll be outside again
