NY Giants running back Amad Bradshaw doesn't think his will keep him out of the 46thannual Superbowl this weekend, even though he did miss 4 games earlier in the season. His fracture is not completely healed and he is hoping that off season rest will heal it without resorting to surgery.
Amad has 1 of the 2 most common 5th metatarsal fractures, the Jones fracture. This fracture is on the outside of the foot, just forward of the normal boney prominence of the 5th metatarsal base. Usually it is caused by indirect trauma, i.e. a twisting injury. The circulation to the bone in this area is not great, so these fractures can be stubborn to heal. Often, they do require surgery. Because of the potential for delayed of non-healing, we recommend most active, athletic patients have this type of fracture treated surgically. The surgery can be performed as an out patient procedure. A period of crutch walking for 4-6 weeks is needed, followed by a walking boot for another 4 weeks. Athletic activity can usually resume in 3 months. Non- surgical treatment usually involves protected weight bearing in a walking boot until signs of healing are seen on x-ray, which can take 2 to 3 months to appear. After 3 months we consider the fracture a delayed union and after 6 months without healing it is considered a non-union. Electromagnetic or ultrasound bone stimulators can be used to treat delayed or non-unions.
These fractures can be quite painful. I guess that makes Amad tough as nails! I don't recommend you continue playing with this type of fracture, but I hope he can put up some good yardage this weekend!
If you or a loved one has sustained a foot injury, even one that was treated elsewhere, make an appointment at Midtown Podiatry with locations in Midtown, Gramercy, Union Square, Wall Street and Glen Cove. We will do everything we can to get you back in the game quickly.
