Brief Answer:
Extensive soft tissue injury has delayed healing.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The MRI scan suggests extensive soft tissue injury with fractures of metatarsals. There is no comment on extent of healing. Due to extensive soft tissue injury, the healing is taking time. A persistent pain is due to delayed healing. It is best to remain non weight bearing for 3-4 weeks more and let it heal conservatively.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.
