What Are Complications of Fractures?
Discussion Fifth metatarsal fractures are a common fracture of the foot and are the most common metatarsal fracture in children > 5 years of age and adults. There is a peak age distribution in the second and fifth decades of life. Teenage boys in organized sports are one of the most common groups affected. In acute fractures, acute pain and inability to walk are common presentations, whereas in a stress fracture an increase in activity, or chronic repetitive forces are at play. Fifth metatarsal fractures have various classifications. Fracture locations from proximal to distal include avulsion fractures (a common acute f...

Such patients include those with diffuse limb pain, back pain, and complex regional pain syndrome type 1. These patients remain a clinical enigma. However, through the development of the neuritis model, it has become apparent that local nerve inflammation in the absence of gross pathology (i.e., axonal degeneration and demyelination) may underlie part of the mechanisms of pain. In this chapter, we describe a method to induce the neuritis model....
