• ABSTRACT
    • The authors examine the peculiarities of the diagnosis, the clinical course and the roentgenologic manifestations of the fracture of the 5th metatarsal bone, the so-called Jones' fracture, in sportsmen. In this type of injury a good treatment result, i.e. the consolidation of the bone and the recovery of the foot at the early posttraumatic period is achieved by surgical treatment which provides for a necessary compression at the fracture site.
