Broken 2nd metatarsal ,displaced and floating. Surgeon put in a plate. I didn t even know it was broken until X-rays. I have diabetes (25 years) and terrible neuropathy. Since the surgery my foot is kind of purple. If I am up much the lower part of my foot feels like I can t move it. It almost feels like I am walking on top of something. Not able to move my toes. Is all of this normal? Surgery 5 weeks ago.
Hello, I have studied your case. Proper fixation and adequate post op immobilization is important to maintain good vascularity. You need to consult your surgeon to find reason for pain or see podiatrist Till further consultation use proper footwear. You may need x-ray to see proper position of implant. Color Doppler study will help to see vascularity at foot region. Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow-up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care
