Hi, I am 33 and have fracture in 5th metatarsal bone in my right foot. I have attached the recent xray image. its been 4 weeks since fracture but n major recovery. I have no swelling in my foot and pain also but fracture is there. I am in cast boot. Do I need to go for surgery or it will heal naturally and will it form any deformity in my foot which can cause pain later on.
Please advise.
