Jones fractures were defined as fifth metatarsal base fractures occurring in the proximal metadiaphyseal region, distal to the articulation of the fourth and fifth metatarsals on the oblique radiographic view. Clinical healing was the time point at which the patient had returned to their baseline ambulatory status with no tenderness to palpation. Radiographic healing was the presence of bridging callus across at least 3 cortices.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 2450 patients presented with fifth metatarsal fractures, and 166 fractures (6.8%) were true Jones fractures. Among patients with Jones fractures, 120 patients with 121 Jones fractures followed up at our institution and were included in the analysis (mean age 46.5\u2009\u00b1\u200918.5\u2009years). Ninety-nine fractures (81.8%) were treated nonoperatively and 22 fractures (18.2%) operatively. There were no differences between nonoperative and operative groups in time to clinical healing (12.7\u2009\u00b1\u20097.1 vs 12.8\u2009\u00b1\u20094.8\u2009weeks, P\u2009=\u2009.931) or radiographic healing (13.2\u2009\u00b1\u20098.1 vs 11.7\u2009\u00b1\u20095.9\u2009weeks, P\u2009=\u2009.331). Overall healing rate was 96% for the nonoperative group compared with 96.2% for the operative group.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In this study, nonoperative and operative treatment of true Jones fractures were associated with equivalent clinical and radiographic healing.
