Normal time for bony union is 4-6 weeks. Yes you can go to work and travel but you should get a synthetic walking cast on. You can walk over the cast. Cases of numbness can be trauma to neurovascular structures. Expect full recovery in 6-9 months. Plaster is not a bad way of treating MT fracture. Share x-rays.
