The fracture line transverses the base of the 5th metatarsal bone, reaching the articular surface. Adjacent soft tissue edema is observed.
Case Discussion
Avulsion fractures of the 5th metatarsal styloid should be differentiated from other fractures at the base of the 5th metatarsal because these fractures can be treated conservatively and heal well.
