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.
Three types of fractures occur in the fifth metatarsal. Avulsion fractures off the base commonly occur with ankle sprains, particularly the plantar flexion-inversion variety. Proximal diaphyseal fractures result from repetitive cyclical stress to the foot and typically have a prodromal presentation.
