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.
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]
Tailor's bunion, also known as digitus quintus varus or bunionette, is a condition caused as a result of inflammation of the fifth metatarsal bone at the base of the little toe.

Stress fracture. A stress fracture is a fatigue-induced bone fracture caused by repeated stress over time.

Because of this mechanism, stress fractures are common overuse injuries ...
