Jones fracture is a fracture of the fifth metatarsal bone of the foot. It usually occurs at the base of the bone, and is sometimes called a “dancer’s fracture” as it is common in athletes who participate in sports that require a lot of jumping and sudden changes of direction. Jones fracture fixation is a surgical procedure that involves the fixation of the fractured bone to allow it to heal properly. The fixation is usually done with the help of screws, plates or wires. The procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia and may require a short hospital stay.
