【 摘 要 】

Category:Lesser Toes, TraumaIntroduction/Purpose:The standard treatment of 5th metatarsal shaft fracture is still not determined yet. Conservative treatment using cast immobilization can be applied for shaft fractures without displacement, but there are reports that open reduction is indicated for displacement more than 3 mm, rotational displacement, and angular displacement more than 30 degrees. In this study, we report the result of 5th metatarsal shaft fracture using MIPO technique, which can shorten recovery period by reducing soft tissue damage with minimal incision.Methods:This study consists of 25 patients who had undergone surgery for displaced 5th metatarsal shaft fracture from March 2013 to December 2015; 8 males and 17 females. Mean age at the time of surgery was 47.4(29~69) and mean follow period was 15.0(8~25) months. 11 cases were simple oblique fracture and 14 cases were comminuted fracture with fracture fragments. Mean fracture gap was 4.4(3.1~7.6)mm. MIPO technique with LCP Compact Hand L...
