Michele T. Glasgow, R. John Naranja, Steven G. Glasgow, Joseph S. Torg

Short summary

Surgical management of Jones fractures failed in 11 patients, with refracture being the most common complication (7/11). Specific technical errors, such as using non-standard screws for intramedullary fixation or undersized grafts/incomplete reaming for bone grafts, correlated with failure.
