Plain-language summary

Fractures of the shaft, distal to zone three, of the fifth metatarsal often occur after foot distortion. There is very little evidence available regarding the optimal treatment. Currently the most common treatment is prolonged cast immobilization. Operative treatment has been reported as an alternative and could promote early recovery. No comparative study has been published regarding optimal treatment
