How long does it take for metatarsal fractures to disappear?

metatarsal fracture line blur generally takes 8-12 months to disappear.

After metatarsal fracture, fracture site healing needs to go through three stages of inflammation, callus formation and callus remodeling, in this process, fracture end gradually replaced by new bone, forming continuous callus, and then be remodeled into normal bone, this process takes a certain time. Secondly, in the process of fracture healing, callus is bone hyperplasia around the fracture end, forming a bridge connecting the fracture end. This process requires a lot of calcium and other nutrients and takes 8-12 months to gradually form and stabilize, so the fracture line of metatarsal fracture usually takes 8-12 months to blur.
