Definitions
- Jones fx: Traumatic transverse fx of 5th metatarsal (MT) proximal shaft
- March fracture: Stress fx of distal 2nd or 3rd MT due to fatigue, typically in military recruits
- Stress fractures are due to repetitive injuries and divided into 2 types
- Fatigue fx: Increased demand on normal bone
- Insufficiency fx: Normal demand on weakened bone
