摘　　要：Jones type fifth metatarsal fractures pose a challenge to the foot and ankle surgeon,given documented high nonunion rates as well as high complication rates including hardware prominence,nerve injury,and screw breakage for existing treatment modalities including screw and plantar plate fixation.We call for the design of innovative Jones-fracture specific implants which contour to the natural curve of the fifth metatarsal.Future research should aim to expand upon existing literature for Jones fracture fixation and evaluate efficacy of novel implants which are designed to address unacceptably high complication rates for existing treatment modalities.
