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.
This fracture occurs when a small piece of bone is pulled off the main portion of the bone by a tendon or ligament. Jones fractures are less common than avulsion fractures and they are more difficult to treat due to their location in the small area of the fifth metatarsal base, which receives less blood supply.
