Metatarsal neck fractures are more often caused by a torsional force applied to the foot, whereas direct compression results in shaft fractures. Open reduction with internal fixation is indicated for patients with open fractures, irreducible fractures, and those that cannot maintain reduction by casting...
There was only one nonunion out of the 66 metatarsal fractures, which was a tuberosity fracture. There was delayed union in ten tuberosity fractures, two Jones fractures, two stress fractures and four oblique distal shaft/neck fractures. Overall they found that delayed union was seen in 27% ...
We retrospectively reviewed the office records of the senior author--which include two national ballet companies--and identified 35 dancers who sustained distal shaft fractures of the fifth metatarsal. The usual fracture pattern is a spiral, oblique fracture starting distal-lateral and running proximal...
The frac ture of the proximal shaft of the fifth metatarsal, particularly the 1.5-cm segment distal to the tuberosity, is a troublesome injury in the active athlete. The clinical course does not appear to be influenced by the usual initial conservative treatment modalities, although many of ...
Length of the fifth metatarsal, width of the medullary canal at the bow, and distance of fracture from the proximal tip of the fifth metatarsal were measured as well (Fig. 1). Fig. 1 Radiographic measurements pertaining to the fifth metatarsal. AP radiograph demonstrating how measurements ...

Types of fifth metatarsal fracture include: avulsion fracture of the tuberosity, proximal diaphyseal (Jones) fracture, proximal diaphyseal stress fracture, diaphyseal (shaft) fracture, and fractures of the neck and head. Diagnosis of these fractures can be made with a sound anatomical knowledge,...

Stewart 21 was able to show a difference in mechanism of injury and in prognosis for "fractures at the juncture of the shaft and base (Jones fracture) and fractures of the styloid process." In 1975, Dameron 3 presented the first large clinical series of fractures of the fifth metatarsal ...

The aims of this study were to determine ...
