![]() The mean VAS measured at baseline, 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 6 weeks and 8 weeks were 7.36, 1.97, 0.58, 0.17 and 0.08 respectively in the FC group and 6.09, 2.91, 1.23, 0.37 and 0.11 respectively in the SLC group. Seventy-two patients (36 paticipants per group) were enrolled to receive either FC or SLC. ![]() The primary outcomes were pain VAS, AOFAS and complications measured at 2, 4, 6 and 8 weeks after receiving the treatment. ResultĪ total of 72 pseudo-jones metatarsal fracture participants were randomly allocated to treatment by foot cast or short leg cast. This single-center, single blind,randomized controlled trial was conducted between 1 June 2016–1 July 2018 at Police General Hospital, Bangkok, Thailand. We have conducted a randomized controlled trial to compare outcomes of foot casting (FC) and short leg casting (SLC) to assess pain, function and complication outcomes for the treatment of pseudo-jones metatarsal fractures. However, currently there is no consensus as to which method is the most suitable. The methods of protected weight bearing include short-leg casting and splinting (boot cast, Jones’s bandage and elastic bandage). Conservative management of fractures proximal to the metaphyseal-diaphyseal junction of the fifth metatarsal bone (pseudo-Jones) is by protected weight bearing.
