cracked metatarsal

What is the correct treatment for a cracked metatarsal? My 85 year old mother fractured her metatarsal and was told by her doctor to wear tennis shoes and not to bear weight on it for a week? Shouldn't it be casted?

The proprietary gel also provides extra protective padding to help comfort the pain caused by metatarsal soreness. May be used for relieving the burning sensation under the metatarsal heads, calluses and tarsal fat pads.
