Core Tip	Jones type fifth metatarsal fractures have high rates of complications and fixation failure. While intramedullary screw fixation is the current accepted treatment modality, we call for innovation in the treatment options for Jones fracture fixation to more appropriately address the challenges seen with this fracture pattern in the high level athlete.
