Optimal Starting Point for Fifth Metatarsal Zone II Fractures: A Cadaveric Study.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:Identifying the optimal starting point for intramedullary fixation of tibia and femur fractures is well described in the literature using a retrograde or anterograde technique. This technique has not been applied to the fifth metatarsal, where screw trajectory can cause iatrogenic malreduction. The generally accepted starting point for the fifth metatarsal is "high and inside" to accommodate the fifth metatarsal's dorsal apex and medial curvature. We used a retrograde technique to identify the optimal starting position for intramedullary fixation of fifth metatarsal fractures. METHODS:Five matched cadaveric lower extremity pairs were dissected to the fifth metatarsal neck. An osteotomy was made to access the intramedullary canal. A retrograde reamer was passed to the base of the fifth metatarsal to ascertain the ideal entry point. Distances from each major structure on the lateral aspect of the foot were measured. Computed tomography scans helped assess base edge measurements. RESULTS:In 6 of 10 specimens, the retrograde reamer hit the cuboid with a cuboid invasion averaging 0.7 mm. The peroneus brevis and longus were closest to the starting position with an average distance of 5.1 mm and 5.7 mm, respectively. Distances from the entry point to the dorsal, plantar, medial, and lateral edges of the metatarsal base were 8.3 mm, 6.9 mm, 9.7 mm, and 9.7 mm, respectively. CONCLUSION:Optimal starting position was found to be essentially at the center of the base of the fifth metatarsal at the lateral margin of the cartilage. Osteoplasty of the cuboid or forefoot adduction may be required to gain access to this site. CLINICAL RELEVANCE:This study evaluated the ideal starting position for screw placement of zone II base of the fifth metatarsal fractures, which should be considered when performing internal fixation for these fractures.
