ABSTRACT
As one of the most common fractures of the foot, the blood supply characteristics and unique anatomy of proximal fifth metatarsal fracture makes a high risk of delayed union or non-union of fractures occurring at the junction of the diaphyseal-metaphyseal. At present, the classification system of proximal fifth metatarsal fracture is complicated and not yet unified, and Lawrence and Botte classification is more recommended. The system divides proximal fifth metatarsal fracture into three typesavulsion fractures of tuberosity(Zone I), fractures at the metaphysis-diaphysis junction, which extend into the fourth-fifth intermetatarsal facet (Zone II) and the proximal diaphyseal fractures(Zone III). Based on the classification system, each type of fracture has a corresponding treatment plan and prognosis. There are a variety of surgical methods for proximal fifth metatarsal fracture. For the fracture of Zone II and Zone III, percutaneous intramedullary screw is the first choice. In addition, clinicians should also have a thorough understanding of common complications of fracture and associated disposal methods.
