Source: Taylor & Francis
Metatarsal head stress fractures pose treatment challenges with no established consensus. In this article, we introduce a percutaneous treatment involving autologous bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) injection without surgical fixation in a 21-year-old basketball player with a stress fracture of the right fifth metatarsal head. He underwent this procedure following unsuccessful 8 months of conservative treatment. Twelve weeks after the procedure, a CT scan confirmed complete healing, facilitating his return to sports.
