Background: Fractures of the fifth metatarsal bone are common and surgery is uncommon. The "Jones" fracture is known to be in a watershed region that often leads to compromised healing, however, a "true Jones" fracture can be difficult to determine, and its impact on healing in pediatric pa...
FractureFifth metatarsal baseClassificationAvulsion fractures of the fifth metatarsal base (MTB5) are common fore foot injuries. Based on a radiomorphometric analysis reflecting the risk for a secondary displacement, a new classification was developed.#A cohort of 95 healthy, sportive, and young ...
49 fifth metatarsal fractures were identified. Two transverse proximal diaphyseal fractures 3.0 cm distal from the fifth metatarsal tuberosity, the Jones fracture, were identified. The frequency of the Jones fracture in this group of fifth metatarsal fractures ( n = 49) is 4%....
