They articulate proximally with tarsal bones and distally with the phalanges. • The 5th metatarsal or the little toe is one of the most commonly fractured bone in football. • Fifth metatarsal fractures can occur due to low energy injury including twisting of the forefoot and stress response, or by a high energy trauma. • There are two muscles attached on the fifth metatarsal via their respective tendons, the fibularis brevis and fibularis tertius. • The pulling of these tendons can actually pull the bone away. • For immediate care, the patient may have a special boot fitted, to ease the weight they are bearing on that foot. Crutches also help to allow the foot to heal. • X-ray is the imaging modality of choice to confirm the diagnosis of the fracture. • After surgery, the patient enters rehabilitation. With proper care, they can make a full recovery within a 3 month period. • #orthopedics #anatomy #CompleteAnatomy #medstudent #medstudents #sportsinjury #injury #medtech #doctor #3D #physiology
