Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement,  's  Response
Hello,
I have studied your case and I think that she needs to see a doctor as soon as possible. If she did not receive any plaster or splint than I think there can be two possibilities.
1.There is no union of the fracture and that is why metatarsal is coming out of the skin.
2.Bone is united but not in proper position so you are seeing such protrubarance.
I would recommend you to get x ray of the foot and see what is happening. Accordingly we can treat this condition.
I hope this answer will be useful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
thanks
