Short Leg Walking Plaster Cast Versus Walking Foot Cast for Jones Fracture

NCT06687668 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 122

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This study is an open-label, randomized controlled trial comparing the effectiveness of two plaster cast methods-Short Leg Walking Plaster Cast and Walking Foot Plaster Cast-for treating Jones fractures, a common fracture at the base of the fifth metatarsal in the foot. This trial will be conducted at Lady Reading Hospital Peshawar. The study will evaluate differences in fracture healing and functional outcomes between these two treatment approaches. Findings from this trial may guide more evidence-based treatment protocols for Jones fractures, potentially improving patient mobility and recovery without requiring surgical intervention.

Conditions

  • Jones Syndrome
  • Metatarsal Bone Fractures

Interventions

OTHER

Short Leg Walking Plaster Cast

A short leg walking plaster cast that extends from the head of the metatarsal to the mid-calf. This cast provides stability to the fracture site while allowing limited weight-bearing, and is designed to restrict inversion and eversion movements, thereby reducing the risk of fracture displacement. Applied for six weeks.

OTHER

Walking Foot Plaster Cast

A walking foot plaster cast that covers the foot from the metatarsal heads but leaves the toes exposed. This cast allows weight-bearing while restricting side-to-side movement, providing support to the fracture area without immobilizing the ankle. It will be used for six weeks.
