Abstract:
Metatarsal fractures make up the greatest portion of foot fractures in children. Most of them are treated with closed reduction
and non-weightbearing cast immobilization.Usually, these fractures heal uneventfully and delay union and pseudoarthrosis are
rare. We report a case of a 10-year-old child with non-union of the second metatarsal following a traumatic fracture, caused by an
accident 10 months before, and treated successfully by osteosynthesis with plate and screws. Good clinical outcome was achieved
at 2 years follow-up.
