We report an unusual case of basic bilateral fracture of fifth metatarsals in a\n48 years old post-menopausal woman. She had previously been treated for\narterial high blood pressure, parathyroidectomy and rheumatoid arthritis by a\nlong corticotherapy treatment. The lesion was caused by an indirect mechanism\nin an overweight context. The diagnosis of a pseudarthrosis of the base of\nthe fifth metatarsals was maintained after 7-month treatment. The patient received\na treatment of both pseudarthrosis. The post-operative periods were\nsimple. After a 9-month follow-up, the treatment allowed consolidation with\npainless feet allowing her to resume work.
