Jones Fracture Fixation (Open Reduction and Internal Fixation)
Jones Fracture Fixation (Open Reduction and Internal Fixation)
This procedure is used to correct a Jones fracture - a fracture of the fifth metatarsal bone of the foot. During this procedure, the surgeon inserts one or more screws (and sometimes additional hardware) to stabilize the bone and allow it to heal properly.
