[Indications for osteosynthesis of metatarsal fractures]. 1984

K Franke, and B Paul

Fractures of metatarsal bones range from 4 to 5% of all fractures and to less than 1% of all injuries occurring. The usual treatment is non-operative by plaster cast. In case of special physical performance (profession, sports) the indication for operative treatment can be extended. This should be taken into consideration in dislocated multiple fractures as well as in single ones of the first and fifth metatarsal bone.
