If the fracture enters the intermetatarsal joint, it is a Jones fracture. If, however, it enters the tarsometatarsal joint, then it is likely an avulsion fracture caused by pull from the fibularis brevis tendon. An avulsion fracture at the base of the fifth metatarsal is sometimes called a "dancer's fracture" or a "pseudo Jones fracture", and ...
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] Most of these fractures are treated ...
A tuberosity fracture is also called a pseudo-Jones fracture or a dancer's fracture. [6] It is typically an avulsion fracture. [7] Normal anatomy that may simulate a fracture include mainly: The "apophysis", which is the secondary ossification center of the bone, and is normally present at 10 – 16 years of age. [8]

Nonunion is permanent failure of healing following a broken bone unless intervention (such as surgery) is performed. A fracture with nonunion generally forms a structural resemblance to a fibrous joint, and is therefore often called a "false joint" or pseudoarthrosis (from Greek pseudo-, meaning false, and arthrosis, meaning joint).
Jones fracture – a fracture of the proximal end of the fifth metatarsal; March fracture – a fracture of the distal third of one of the metatarsals occurring because of recurrent stress; Cuneiform fracture – a fracture of one of the three cuneiform bones typically due to direct blow, axial load, or avulsion [20]
In runners, march fracture occurs most often in the metatarsal neck, while in dancers it occurs in the proximal shaft. In ballet dancers, fracture mostly occurs at the base of the second metatarsal and at Lisfranc joints. This fracture always occurs following a prolonged stress or weight bearing, and the history of direct trauma is very rare.
