Putting the best forward: what you should know about metatarsal fractures
The metatarsal bones of the foot are the five long bones that are in the middle of the foot between the ankle and the toes. They make up the main arch of the foot and are essential for walking, weight-bearing, and other pedal activities. They enable us to wear high heels, balance, and flex our feet. They can get damaged, often in football players and professional ballroom dancers. In an interview with Mr Shelain Patel, a celebrated orthopaedic surgeon, we discuss metatarsal fractures and how they can be treated.
