Jones fracture. A Jones fracture is a broken bone in a specific part of the fifth metatarsal of the foot between the base and middle part [ 8] that is known for its high rate of delayed healing or nonunion. [ 4] It results in pain near the midportion of the foot on the outside. [ 2] There may also be bruising and difficulty walking. [ 3]
The fifth metatarsal bone is a long bone in the foot, and is palpable along the distal outer edges of the feet. It is the second smallest of the five metatarsal bones. The fifth metatarsal is analogous to the fifth metacarpal bone in the hand. [1] As with the four other metatarsal bones it can be divided into three parts; a base, body and head.
Proximal fractures of 5th metatarsal. The tuberosity avulsion fracture (also known as pseudo-Jones fracture or dancer's fracture [2] is a common fracture of the fifth metatarsal (the bone on the outside edge of the foot extending to the little toe). [3] This fracture is likely caused by the lateral band of the plantar aponeurosis (tendon). [4]
The metatarsal bones or metatarsus ( pl.: metatarsi) are a group of five long bones in the midfoot, located between the tarsal bones (which form the heel and the ankle) and the phalanges ( toes ). Lacking individual names, the metatarsal bones are numbered from the medial side (the side of the great toe ): the first, second, third, fourth, and ...

Freiberg disease, also known as a Freiberg infraction, is a form of avascular necrosis in the metatarsal bone of the foot. It generally develops in the second metatarsal, but can occur in any metatarsal. Physical stress causes multiple tiny fractures where the middle of the metatarsal meets the growth plate. These fractures impair blood flow to ...

Oblique view X-ray in a 45-year-old male diabetic revealed a divergent, Lisfranc dislocation of the first metatarsal with associated lesser metatarsal fractures. The same 45-year-old man with diabetes mellitus presented with a diffusely swollen, warm and non-tender left foot due to Charcot arthropathy. There are no changes to the skin itself.
