Do I need surgery if metatarsal fracture non-union starts hurting?

Today we're talking about metatarsal fracture, nonunion surgery versus no surgery. I know some people will think that I probably should have gone straight from #665 to 667 because frankly, there are some negative connotations surrounding those three letters, 666...the number of the beast. But I decided to do this episode anyway. And, I decided to dedicate this one to a buddy who is a beast.  He's tough, he's active, and he happens to have a metatarsal nonunion that hasn't stopped him from doing a whole lot of fun, active things.  I'm hoping in this episode you can learn a little bit about the different options you have when you get a metatarsal fracture nonunion.
