Abstract
Background: Today, There is great difference regarding fixation of fracture of base of fifth metatarsal bone
Patients and Methods : Between March 2021 and June 2021a prospective study was bone on twenty patients (5 females and 15 males) with a mean age 40 years old (range 30-05 years), in Mataria Teaching Hospital. The mode of trauma was twisting injury in all patients. Patients were followed up for 4 months post operatively. All patients had under gone cannulated screws.
Results : 19 patients had excellent outcomes regarding AOFAS (Nopain, Complete union) only one patient had residual pain with non union (It was a comminuted fracture case).
Conclusion : Fixation of fracture base of fifth metatarsal bone by cannulated screws is a very effective method of treatment with short hospital stay and rapid recovery period.
