Discussion
2 weeks is quite quick to decide this, however you can get a reasonably good idea as to how bones will heal. As we get older, our ability to lay down calcium decreases and so a bone will take longer to heal. Add to this the fact that the fracture is in the foot and therfore has a moderate amount of movement in it on a daily basis, pinning it may be the best option as this will encourage new bone growth and keep the fracture in a good position.
