Fracture-dislocation of the fifth metacarpal base is a common intra-articular injury and has been dubbed the reverse Bennett fracture. A direct blow to the ulnar border of the hand tends to cause an extra-articular fifth metacarpal base fracture.
A number of fractures occur at the base of the 5th metatarsal (see fractures of the proximal fifth metatarsal) as well as entities that mimic fractures: 1  stress fracture of the 5th metatarsal. 2  Jones fracture. 3  os peroneum. 4  os vesalianum. 5  normal apophysis of the proximal 5th metatarsal.
