fractures of the proximal fifth metatarsal

The proximal 5 metatarsal is the site of a number of fractures and variants which mimic fractures. These include:

• stress fracture of the 5 metatarsal
• Jones fracture
• avulsion fracture of the proximal 5 metatarsal
• accessory ossicles
  • os vesalianum, or
  • os peroneum
• normal apophysis of the proximal 5 metatarsal

The biomechanics of the fractures differ as do their natural history and treatment, therefore an understanding of these entities is important.

Some classifications have also been described for explaining proximal 5 metatarsal fractures, their prognosis, and management options:

• Dameron-Lawrence-Botte classification (most common)
• Stewart classification
• Torg's classification
