Proximal fractures of 5th metatarsal. The tuberosity avulsion fracture (also known as pseudo-Jones fracture or dancer's fracture [2] is a common fracture of the fifth metatarsal (the bone on the outside edge of the foot extending to the little toe). [3] This fracture is likely caused by the lateral band of the plantar aponeurosis (tendon). [4]
Fracture of the medial malleolus seen on X-ray scan (left ankle) Common symptoms of a Maisonneuve fracture are pain, swelling, tenderness, and bruising around the ankle joint and inferior (or distal) tibiofibular joint. More specifically, as a pronation-external rotation injury, pain during external rotation of the ankle joint is expected.
If not recognized and managed appropriately, a talus fracture may result in complications and long-term morbidity. A 2015 review came to the conclusion that isolated talar body fractures may be more common than previously thought. [4] A fractured talar body often has a displacement that is best visualised using CT imaging. In case a talus ...

The os trigonum or accessory talus represents a failure of fusion of the lateral tubercle of the posterior process of the talus bone. Is estimated to be present in 7–25% of adults. [17] It can be mistaken for an avulsion fracture of lateral tubercle of talus (Shepherd fracture) or a fracture of the Stieda process. In most cases, Os Trigonum ...

Shoulder trauma during motor vehicle collisions is another common cause of brachial plexus avulsions. [22] Detachment of the nerves can cause pain and loss of function in the arms, shoulders, and hands. Neuropathic pain can be treated with medication, but it is only through surgical reattachment or nerve grafts that function can be restored. [22]
