Metacarpal fractures usually take about six to eight weeks to heal. You'll probably have to wear a splint as part of your treatment. It covers part of your fingers and both sides of your hand and wrist, and you'll most likely wear it for around three weeks. You may also undergo physical therapy.
Treatment of metacarpal fractures and dislocations is primarily nonoperative. Management usually consists of sedation or local anesthesia, followed by closed reduction of the fracture or dislocation. A forearm-based splint is then applied and held in place with a loose compressive wrap.
A metatarsal fracture may take from 6 weeks to several months to heal. It is important to give your foot time to heal completely, so that you do not hurt it again. Do not return to your usual activities until your doctor says you can.
Generally a cast is only used for treating metacarpal fractures for children or individuals who will not be able to keep their fingers safely immobilised with a splint. The disadvantage of a cast is that you cannot remove it to exercise your fingers, so your joints may become stiff.
