What Is The Treatment Of In Displaced Fracture In Foot ?
Hi, I have a undisplaced fracture to my big to that is extending to 1st MTPJ articular surface... This happened nearly 3 weeks ago and the foot is still very swollen with a lot of pain... Should the pain have gone down by now? I am wearing a boot but it doesn't seem to be helping...

Hello
Thanks for posting
It usually take 4-6 weeks for such fracture to heal.So,take rest and take balanced diet rich in calcium (1000mg/day) and vitamin D (1000 i.u. /day) along with vitaminB12, B6.This helps in early healing.Take Ibuprofen and trypsin to reduce pain ane swelling under medical guidance.
