Episode description

If you a runner in training and you break one of your toes, or snap a metatarsal bone, you may worry about hoe long you need to stop running. 

When you are get a fractured bone, you probably want to know what it will take to heal the bone and how quickly it is going to heal. 

One of the ways doctors classify broken bones in the feet and toes is whether it is a “displaced fracture" or a “non-displaced fracture." 

Today on the Doc On The Run podcast, we're talking about the difference between a a displaced vs non displaced fracture, and what it means if you are a runner.
