I broke my foot today. 5th metatarsal to be exact.
See that bit to the right of the red arrows that looks like a separate little bone? It isn't.
The arrows indicate the beginning and end of the fracture. It's called an avulsion fracture, which is where the end of the bone is pulled off by the ligament when the foot is over-supinated (rolled over). The fracture is complete and goes right into the joint, so I am hoping that six weeks in a cast will do the job and I won't need a screw in it.
