You have five metatarsal bones in your foot. A metatarsal fracture is when one of these bones is broken. There are two main types of metatarsal fractures: acute fractures (due to sudden injury) and stress fractures (due to overuse injury). Several English footballers have had metatarsal fractures in recent years. You may experience pain, swelling and difficulty putting weight on the affected foot. Treatment depends on the type and site of the fracture.
