Question:
I have a nonunion avulsion fracture of the 5th metatarsal. At times it is completely asymptomatic. occasionally i will aggravated while it running or cutting and the pain is very intense. Will this product help support the fracture to either prevent aggravations or decrease pain? I was also looking at the forefoot compression sleeve. Would you recommend either of them for my condition?
Answer:
The arch binder would encompass the base of the 5th metatarsal and would likely help with an avulsion fracture like you describe. The forefoot compression sleeve would be a better choice for metatarsal stress fractures near the metatarsal head (forefoot).

I have plantar fasciitis and my Podatrist recommended purchasing arch binders. I need to know exactly what type I should purchase.

Question:
Do you sell arch binders to fit a childs foot? My daughters has a pair that measure 3 inch across. These fit her but one is starting to rip. I bought a pair off the shelf at the store that measure about 3 1/2 inch and they don't give her enough support.
Answer:
Our Small Arch Binder is 7" around, which would be too big for your daughter. The manufacturer (Pedifix)does not make a smaller size.
