Specifically, fractures of the fifth metatarsal account for approximately 50% of all metatarsal fractures,1 and a large majority of these occur in young, active individuals.2 A Jones fracture is defined as a transverse fracture of the proximal end of the fifth metatarsal bone in the foot,2 whereas a pseudo-Jones fracture is an avulsion fracture of the base of the fifth metatarsal.3 A pseudo-Jones fracture is also referred to as a Zone 1 fracture, and occurs when a portion of the bone is pulled off from the remaining bone.2 The typical treatment for a fifth metatarsal fracture, including an avulsion fracture, is a non-surgical, conservative approach.4 Immobilization of avulsion fractures has been determined to ensure union and proper healing of the bones occurs, which is a common concern with this injury.2 For athletes that sustain pseudo-Jones fractures, effective immobilization is essential, as it can dramatically affect return to play.	cache/clinat-123.pdf	txt/clinat-123.txt
