  • Title: Technical considerations for surgical intervention of Jones fractures.
    Author: Mendicino RW, Hentges MJ, Mendicino MR, Catanzariti AR.
    Journal: J Foot Ankle Surg; 2013; 52(3):409-14. PubMed ID: 23433792.
    Abstract:
    Jones fractures are a common injury treated by foot and ankle surgeons. Surgical intervention is recommended because of the high rate of delayed union, nonunion, and repeat fracture, when treated conservatively. Percutaneous intramedullary screw fixation is commonly used in the treatment of these fractures. We present techniques that can increase the surgical efficiency and decrease the complications associated with percutaneous delivery of internal fixation.
