Question #19

Displaced 5th metatarsal base avulsion fracture — when do you fix it?

For a Zone 1 avulsion fracture with a small but clearly displaced or rotated fragment, what makes you choose fixation rather than functional treatment? Do displacement measurements alone influence you, or are joint involvement and symptoms more important?
