A stress fracture that occurs in the player such as soccer player etc is localized most often in 5th metatarsal bone and has been reported frequently about it. But rarely stress fracture on other metatarsal bone has been reported. So we report a stress fracture on 4th metatarsal bone, that occurred after stress fracture on 5th metatarsal base which had been treated by bone graft and fixation with intramedullary compression screw, was successfully treated with non-weight bearing and custom molded shoes.
