There is no established principle regarding weight-bearing in conservative and operative management of fifth metatarsal base fractures.<jats:italic>Methods<\/jats:italic>. We reviewed 86 patients with acute fifth metatarsal base fractures. Conservatively treated late or early weight-bearing patients were assigned to Group A or C, respectively. Operatively treated late or early weight-bearing patients were assigned to Group B or D, respectively. Results were evaluated by clinical union, bone resorption, and the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) scores.<jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>. All 4 groups had bone union at a mean of 6.9 weeks (range, 5.1\u201315.0). There were no differences between the groups in the AOFAS and VAS scores. In the early weight-bearing groups, there were fewer cases of bone resorption, and the bone unions periods were earlier.<jats:italic>Conclusions<\/jats:italic>. Early weight-bearing may help this patient population. Moreover, conservative treatment could be an option in patients with underlying diseases.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2017\/1397252","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,12,26]],"date-time":"2017-12-26T23:30:37Z","timestamp":1514331037000},"page":"1-6","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Effect
