Avulsion fracture of the 5th metatarsal styloid

Discussion:

Avulsion fracture of the 5th metatarsal styloid is one of the more common foot avulsion injuries and accounts for over 90% of fractures of the base of the 5th metatarsal.  

An os peroneum is a small accessory bone located at the lateral plantar aspect of the cuboid within the substance of the peroneus longus tendon as it arches around the cuboid

Multipartite hallux sesamoids are  a commonly seen normal variant, present in up to 33% of hallux sesamoids. The medial (tibial) sesamoid is more likely to be multipartite than the lateral (fibular) sesamoid because it more commonly has more than one ossification center.
