Episode description

I believe the most commonly prescribed and most overprescribed treatment for injured runners is probably a fracture walking boot. 

The big question for your doctor is...

Is the fracture walking boot really necessary or not, given my stage of injury recovery?

When is a fracture walking boot really necessary for a metatarsal stress fracture? 

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