"The term ‘tuberosity’ refers to the portion of the fifth metatarsal proximal to the inter-metatarsal joint. The confusing term pseudo-Jones fracture is also used to refer to these avulsion fractures and is superfluous, as ‘avulsion fracture of the fifth metatarsal tuberosity’ more accurately describes the mechanism and anatomical location. The imprecise term dancer’s fracture is best avoided."

"The lateral band of the plantar aponeurosis (fascia) is attached to the plantar aspect of the tuberosity 2 and the peroneus brevis tendon inserts into the lateral aspect; both probably contribute to the avulsion injury, which is caused by a combination of plantarflexion of the forefoot and forced inversion of the hindfoot. This can occur when running on an uneven surface or when landing awkwardly from a jump."
"Follow-up radiographs between 2 and 4 weeks commonly demonstrate osteoclastic resorption which widens the fracture line; this should not be mistaken for displacement."
