목적: 제5 중족골 기저부 골절의 위치와 전위, 관절 침범, 분쇄 등의 특징이 조기 체중부하 치료의 결과에 어떤 영향을 미치는지 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 2013년 1월부터 2017년 7월까지 인제대학교 부산백병원에 내원하여 제5 중족골 기저부 제1, 2 구역 골절로 진단 받은 총 34명의 34예를 대상으로 하였다. 평균 추시 기간은 13개월(6-15개월)이었다. 동 기간 동안 수술적 치료를 시행한 경우는 없었고 1명의 경우 추시 기간 중 이전 골절 부위와 다른 부위의 재골절로 제외되었으며 총 33예 모두 보존적 치료를 시행하였다. 족부의 전후면, 측면 및 경사 방사선 촬영 및 컴퓨터 단층 촬영을 시행하여 골절의 위치와 전위, 관절 침범, 분쇄의 정도를 평가하였다. 33명의 모든 환자에게 있어서 수상 직후부터 단하지 석고고정 혹은 탈착 가능한 부츠형 보조기를 선택하여 착용 후 통증이 허용되는 범위 내에서 부분적인 체중부하를 허용한 뒤 통증이 소실되면 일반 신발 또는 수술 후 신발을 착용 후 전 체중부하를 시행하게 하였다. 임상적 결과로 최종 추시 시에 American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) score를 평가하였다. 외래 추시 시 족부의 단순 방사선 촬영을 하여 방사선적 골유합 시기와 업무로의 복귀 시기를 확인하였다. 결과: 총 33명의 환자가 본 연구에 참여하였고(남자 9명, 여자 24명), 환자들의 평균 나이는 48.7세(16-80세)였다. 제1 구역이 24명, 제2 구역이 9명이었고 전체 33명의 환자 중 22명에서 2 mm 이상의 골절 전위가 관찰되었고 관절 침범은 9명, 분쇄 골절은 5명에서 관찰되었다. 제1 구역에서 제2 구역에 비하여 통계적 의미 있는 업무로의 복귀를 보였고 최종 추시 시 AOFAS score는 우수한 결과를 보였고 통계적 차이는 없었다. 골절의 전위 정도, 관절 침범 여부, 분쇄 정도를 분류, 비교하였을 때 방사선적 유합 시기, 업무 복귀 시기에 있어 통계적 차이는 없었으며 모든 경우에 있어 최종 추시 시 만족할 만한 결과를 보였다. 결론: 제5 중족골 기저부 골절에서 골절의 위치, 전위, 관절 침범, 분쇄 여부에 관계없이 조기 체중부하를 허용하여도 만족할 만한 임상적 결과를 얻을 수 있다. 제5 중족골 기저부 골절에서 조기 체중부하하 보존적 치료는 우수한 임상 결과를 얻을 수 있는 좋은 치료 방법이라 생각된다.

Purpose: To evaluate the clinical and radiological results of internal fixation with tension band wiring for the fracture at the base of fifth metatarsal bone. Materials and Methods: From January 2008 to December 2009, 15 cases with displaced fracture at the base of fifth metatarsal were analyzed and average follow up period was 13.8 months. Lawrence classification was used to classify fracture type. We evaluated clinical results by American Orthopedic Foot Ankle Society (AOFAS) midfoot score and radiological results by union time. Complications was also checked. Results: According to classification, zone I fracture were 11 cases and zone II fracture were 4 cases. Bony union was achieved in all cases after 7 weeks. In the final follow-up, average AOFAS score was 94. There were no complications except hardware irritation. Conclusion: Satisfactory results were obtained after tension band wiring for the fifth Metatarsal base fracture in zone I fracture or comminuted zone II fracture for which it is not easy to be fixed with screw.

Purpose: Nonunions and delayed unions are possible complications of fractures of fifth metatarsal base. We tried to report the results of the surgical treatment, which is not prevalent yet. Materials and Methods: Retrospective study of thirty nine patients undergoing operation at our institution between 2003 and 2008 was conducted. Six patients were excluded with loss of follow up before bony union, multiple trauma, pediatric fractures, stress fracture, open fracture. There were 18 males and 15 females with 45.1 years old mean age. The average follow-up period was 18.3 months. We used a midfoot scoring system of AOFAS for clinical assessment and radiologic findings to evaluate bony union, alignment. Results: According to Lawrence's classification, Zone 1 fractures were thirteen and Zone 2 were twenty. Average AOFAS score was 93.61. Conclusion: Early operative treatment with cannulated screw fixation in fractures of the fifth metatarsal base is thought to be an useful and easy treatment option with faster rates of union.

Purpose: To evaluate clinical results of the 5th proximal metatarsal intraarticular fracture (Zone I) with displacement treated operatively and to evaluate predisposing factors of the 5th proximal metatarsal fracture (Zone I). Materials and Methods: 11 patients treated for the 5th proximal metatarsal fracture (Zone I) operatively and 10 patients treated conservatively between Jan 2003 and Dec 2005, were followed for more than one year. Functions were graded by AOFAS foot scoring system and union time and postoperative complications were also evaluated. Calcaneal pitch angle was also evaluated. Results: Clinically there were no much difference in results. Clinical points were 94.5 in the operative group and 92.3 in the conservative group. At the last follow-up, the radiographic results showed union in all cases. During the follow-up period, there were no significant complications. But in the conservative group, displaced fracture with calcaneal pitch angle over 30 degree tends to show delayed union and time to loss of pain tends to be prolonged. Conclusion: Calcaneal pitch angle is thought to predisposing factor for 5th metatarsal base fracture. Operative treatment is viable option for the 5th proximal metatarsal intraarticular fracture with displacement and with calcaneal pitch angle over 30 degree. In cases of cavovarus foot deformity, we think operative treatment should be considered with deliberation and long term follow-up study for peroneal tendinopathy should be needed.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the outcomes, including the complications, of open reduction and internal fixation using a headless cannulated compression screw for a fifth metatarsal base fracture. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively investigated 11 patients with 5th metatarsal base fracture who were treated with a headless cannulated compression screw. The mean follow-up period was 13 months (8~15 months), and the mean age was 46.5 years (21~70 years). We analyzed the patients' sex, age, time to union, amount of fracture displacement, and complications. The American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) midfoot score was used for clinical assessment. Results: The average amount of displacement decreased significantly from 3.4 mm (2.1~5.2 mm), preoperatively, to 0.4 mm (0~1.3 mm), postoperatively (p<0.001). The average bone union time was 54.1 days (41~68 days). There were no complications, such as a metal failure, irritation, and loss of a reduction. The mean AOFAS midfoot score was 97.7 (90~100) at 6 months, postoperatively. Conclusion: We suggest that a headless cannulated compression screw for 5th metatarsal base fracture is a useful and alternative method for a firm fixation without complications.

Purpose: Zone I fractures of the fifth metatarsal bone can generally be treated by conservative methods while both surgical and conservative methods are used for zone II fractures. However, the clinical results of conservative treatment have been rarely reported. The purpose of this study is to report the clinical results of conservative treatment for zone I and II nondisplaced fractures. Materials and Methods: Between July 2007 and August 2008, consecutive thirty seven patients (38 fractures) with zone I and II fractures of the fifth metatarsal bone were treated with tolerable weight bearing and minimum duration of immobilization based on pain on weight bearing. We evaluated the duration of immobilization, time to clinical and radiographic union, and time to pre-injury activity level. Results: Clinical and radiological union were achieved in all patients without any complications including malunion or nonunion. The mean duration of immobilization was 28.7 days. The mean 33.1 days and 48.9 days were required for clinical union and radiographic union respectively, after the initial injury. The mean time to pre-injury activity level was 4.8 months. Conclusion: Our study shows that the acute nondisplaced zone I, II fracture of fifth metatarsal bone can be treated effectively using tolerable weight bearing and minimum duration of immobilization, which is based on the pain on weight bearing.

Purpose: To analyze the clinical and radiological results of the operative treatment in the avulsion fracture on the base of the fifth metatarsal. Materials and Methods: We studied retrospectively, 11 patients of avulsion fracture on the base of the fifth metatarsal operated and followed over 1 year, from February 2000 to May 2002. There were eight men and three women and the average age was 39 years old. The mean follow up period was 14 months. Ten cases were slip-down and one case was fall from a height injuries. We used the modified Foot Score by Wiener for the clinical evaluation, and analyzed the time of union and state of reduction radiologically. Results: In clinical results, we had ten excellent and one good cases by the modified Foot Score at last follow-up. In radiologic results, the complete bony union was achieved in all cases and the duration of the bony union was 37 days in average. Conclusion: We had good result for the avulsion fractures on the base of the fifth metatarsal treated by the operation. This study shows the operation was recommended for the moderate and severe displacement of the avulsion fractures on the base of the fifth metatarsal.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical and radiographic results of internal fixation using multiple Kirschner wires (K-wires) for the fifth metatarsal base fracture. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 14 patients with a displaced fifth metatarsal base fracture. We measured the distance of fracture displacement on the foot oblique radiograph pre- and post-operatively. We evaluated the clinical results using the visual analog pain scale at six weeks and three months postoperatively and the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) mid-foot score at six months postoperatively. Results: In our series, 10 cases were zone I fracture and four cases were zone II fracture. We achieved anatomical reduction and bony union in all of our cases. The average time to bone union was 43 days. The degree of pain around the fifth metatarsal base was significantly decreased after surgery. The average AOFAS score was 95 at six months postoperatively. Conclusion: Multiple K-wire fixation is a relatively simple fixation method for displaced fifth metatarsal base fractures. If we place a K-wire into the medial cortex of the fifth metatarsal, we could prevent proximal migration of the K-wire.
