Category:SportsIntroduction/Purpose:There remains controversy over the ideal implant for intramedullary screw fixation of fifth metatarsal Jones fractures. Promising results have separately been reported for both indication-specific partially threaded screws and headless compression screws. The purpose of this study was to compare clinical and radiographic results between Jones fracture patients treated with indication-specific partially threaded screws to variable-pitched headless compression screws. We also evaluated the association of various patient and fracture characteristics with surgical failure.Methods:We performed a retrospective review and comparative analyses of all Jones fractures treated with primary intramedullary screw fixation by 4 foot and ankle fellowship-trained orthopaedic surgeons at a single institution from 1995 through 2015. Exclusion criteria included concomitant foot or ankle procedures and revision surgery. Charts were reviewed for patient and injury characteristics, implant, a...
