Last chance option to avoid non-union surgery in a runner

Today's episode applies to any injured running pondering surgery. 

I just spoke to a runner who was told she might need surgery to fix a non-union of a metatarsal fracture. 

I said, “Look, you have two choices. You can have surgery or not have surgery.”

We talked about what it meant if she did have surgery in terms of her recovery. And we also talked about how she could potentially get it to heal without having all the risk associated with surgery. 

What is the very last option you can do as a runner to avoid surgery? 

Well, that's what we're talking about today on the Doc On The Run Podcast.
