The purpose of this study was to know utility of percutaneous cannulated screw fixation of fifth proximal metatarsal stress fractures in athletes by assessment of radiological and clinical outcome. This study examined clinical and radiological union time of eleven cases of percutaneous screw fixation, which used the 4.0 mm cannulated screw, of fifth proximal metatarsal stress fracture in athletes. Type I of Torg classification is 7 cases, type II is 3 cases and type III is 1 case. All the cases showed fracture union, and all the patients resumed their athletics at the final follow-up. None of the cases complained of refracture or pain around where they had surgery, and visual analogue scale of pain, and American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society score was 0.73 and 93.4. The results of the study confirm that percutaneous screw fixation, which used the cannulated screw, of fifth proximal metatarsal stress fracture would help athletes resume their athletics in early stages.
