Broken foot questions for any, top of their class, OT doctors.

So I got a fractured 5th metatarsal from kicking arse, and the Doc said it was lined up, and to wear a boot for a month and come back for follow up X-rays.
It started to feel better after a week, so I didnt wear it to sleep, and continued with my normal schedule including a lot of airport terminal walking, fishing and a little bit of wake boarding.
Skip to the end of the month, and im feeling good because the foot is feeling much better, ( albeit a little sore in the evenings). I get my follow up X-rays and the Doc says its displaced now and i need to go see the special man.
What can I expect? If I have surgery, will they give me a cast, or can I roll with the boot again?

Why ask questions when you obviously don’t follow educated advice?

It sounds like you didn’t wear the boot anyways

Post-surgery, whether you get the cast or the boot, you should wake board on that foot every.damn.day.

I was always wearing the boot when I left the house.

Im looking for some positive responses man. This negative shite doesnt help.

You know the answer. You didnt listen, you fricked it up, and now you get cut hoe.

Are you serious?

I did the same thing July 10th. I'm in the middle of haying season so didnt see a doctor.
My recheck xray is this week. my understanding is when its displaced, the chances of a non-union goes way up and its lag screw time (surgery) and 8-13 weeks off it.
A girl at work broker hers nearly 10 years ago and can't run- hers is a non-union

I broke my 5th metatarsal right at the joint. Dr kept me in a boot for 3 1/2 months. He said surgery was an option but I was young enough to heal it. It would have taken 2 surgeries. One to put the plate in and one to remove it. I healed it and filled in the gap and has pretty much completely healed. I'm still walking with a limp, but hopefully that will be gone soon. Foot and ankle are still swollen. Dr said it may be 9 months to be back to normal. You should have stayed in the boot. Good luck, a broken foot sucks big time.

You either continue to be stubborn and not listen to the ortho or you bend the knee.

Its not that I didnt listen. Whenever i wasnt wearing the boot, I was positioning my foot the same as it would be in the boot. SO it was pretty much the exact same as wearing the boot.

Shoulda worn the damn boot. I also broke mine in three other places. I couldn't sleep without the boot the first month. Sheets on it hurt like hell.
