Secondary aim was to identify whether the fifth metatarsal intramedullary canal diameter is correlated to the fifth metatarsal length and the foot dimensions.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>In 29 cadaveric feet, the maximum length of the plantar surface of the foot (PL) and the perimeter of the foot at the level of the fifth metatarsal base (PBFM) were measured using a measuring tape. Subsequently, the fifth metatarsal was excised. Using Computed Tomography scan, the metatarsal length (FML), and the horizontal (HDI) and vertical diameter (VDI) at the isthmus level were measured. The HDI values were grouped in 5\u00a0mm increments to correspond to the recommended screw diameter (RSD) for intramedullary fixation. A univariate linear regression analysis considered RSD and HDI as the dependent variables and FML, PL, PBFM as the independent variables. A multivariate regression analysis was performed to examine the predictive value of the two anthropometric measurements. A <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>-value &lt;\u20090.05 was considered statistically significant.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>All six univariate analyses revealed that the dependent variable was significantly correlated with the independent variable. However, the multivariate regression models showed that the anthropometric measurements were not significantly correlated with the RSD and HDI.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>The current study found an association between the fifth metatarsal intramedullary canal diameter and the fifth metatarsal length and foot anthropometric dimensions. However, the anthropometric measurements of the foot presented a low predictive value for the decision of an intramedullary screw diameter in the treatment of fractures of the base of the fifth metatarsal.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00276-023-03267-9","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,6]],"date-time":"2023-12-06T10:02:19Z","timestamp":1701856939000},"page":"65-70","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Anthropometric measurements of the foot cannot predict the screw diameter for fifth metatarsal fractures intramedullary fixation"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"46","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5762-7627","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Panagiotis D.","family":"Symeonidis","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5729-7755","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Trifon","family":"Totlis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9134-1083","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Iasonas","family":"Dermitzakis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5905-3834","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Athanasia","family":"Papachristodoulou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2541-5467","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ioannis","family":"Giatas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alexandros","family":"Beris","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"3267_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"532","DOI":"10.11138\/mltj\/2017.7.3.532","volume":"7","author":"C Biz","year":"2017","unstructured":"Biz C, Zamperetti M, Gasparella A et al (2017) Early radiographic and clinical outcomes of minimally displaced proximal fifth metatarsal fractures: cast vs functional bandage.
