The Approach to Proximal Fifth Metatarsal Fractures in Athletes
Fractures of the proximal fifth metatarsal are injuries that occur more frequently in the elite athlete population and have the potential to significantly impact the ability of the athlete to return to play if not treated appropriately. These fractures can be separated into three types: tuberosity fractures, Jones fractures and diaphyseal stress fractures. For the treating physician, a thorough...
متن کاملReturn to Play and Performance After Jones Fracture in National Basketball Association Athletes
BACKGROUND Basketball players are at risk for foot injuries, including Jones fractures. It is unknown how this injury affects the future play and performance of athletes. HYPOTHESIS National Basketball Association (NBA) players who sustain Jones fractures of the base of the fifth metatarsal have high rates of return to play and do not experience a decrease in performance on return to competit...
متن کاملMetatarsal fracture mechanism: accelerating loads the fifth ray more than cutting
Introduction Metatarsal fractures, especially of the 5th metatarsal are an increasingly common orthopedic problem among athletes [1]. Sports with a substantial amount of sprint and cutting movements appear to be at greater risk for both stress and acute fractures of the fifth metatarsal. One mechanism of injury is proposed to be the cumulative effect of the many bending moments applied to the f...
متن کاملPlantar Plating for the Treatment of Proximal Fifth Metatarsal Fractures in Elite Athletes.
Proximal fifth metatarsal fractures, zones II and III, are commonly treated surgically, especially in elite athletes. Intramedullary screw fixation remains the most used construct despite nonunion and refracture. High tensile forces on the plantar-lateral aspect of the fifth metatarsal are difficult to control, and intramedullary screw fixation depends on ideal screw position, length, and width...
متن کاملThe Effect Of Peroneus Brevis Tendon Anatomy On Stability Of Fractures At The Fifth Metatarsal Base
BACKGROUND Nonunion of classic Jones fractures has typically been attributed to the precarious vascular anatomy of the proximal fifth metatarsal. Despite this theory, the operative treatment of these fractures utilizes biomechanical solutions. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the influence of the peroneus brevis (PB) tendon on the stability of fractures of the proximal fifth met...
