Talar Tilt
What are the different fractures found at the base of the 5th metatarsal?
1) Avulsion of tuberosity
2) Jones fracture
3) Proximal diaphysis
Where does a Jones fracture occur? What joint does it go into? Why does this have to be caught?
1) Occurs at the junction of the metaphysis and diaphysis in the 5th metatarsal
2) Enters into the 4th-5th intermetatarsal joint
3) It has to be caught because this area has poor blood supply and can result in a nonunion of the bones
