A retrospective review of the effect of metatarsus adductus on healing time in the fifth metatarsal jones fracture

A retrospective review of the effect of metatarsus adductus on healing time in the fifth metatarsal jones fracture

Highlights • There exist biomechanical risk factors that should be taken into consideration for the Jones fracture. • Healing time in the Jones fracture is highly related to metatarsus adductus. • A predictive bone healing time algorithm based on the metatarsus adductus angle is presented.
