  • Title: Suture Anchor Fixation for Fifth Metatarsal Tuberosity Avulsion Fractures: A Case Series and Review of Literature.
    Author: Hong CC, Nag K, Yeow H, Lin AZ, Tan KJ.
    Journal: J Foot Ankle Surg; 2018; 57(5):1030-1033. PubMed ID: 29779994.
    Abstract:
    Fifth metatarsal tuberosity avulsion fractures are common. Despite good outcomes with nonoperative treatment, acute fractures with displacement, intra-articular involvement, comminution, or painful nonunion have been reported to benefit from early open reduction and internal fixation, especially in athletes. No consensus has been reached regarding the best surgical fixation technique. We present a case series of 4 patients with displaced fifth metatarsal tuberosity avulsion fractures and an innovative technique of fixation for the tuberosity avulsion fractures using a suture anchor.
