The length of walking for a fracture of the base of the fifth metatarsal should be judged according to the severity of the fracture. For mild fractures, you can walk on crutches after 42 days of fixation, but you can't carry excessive weight. If the fracture displacement is obvious, you need to fix it for about 56 days before you can walk.
