Jones Fracture Fixation (Intramedullary Screw)

A Jones fracture is a break at the base of the fifth metatarsal, the long bone on the outside of the foot. This type of fracture often occurs with twisting injuries and can be slow to heal without proper treatment.

Surgical fixation uses an intramedullary screw placed inside the bone to hold it securely while it heals. This technique improves stability, reduces healing time, and lowers the risk of the fracture not healing properly.

What Our Patients Have To Say

At Onyx Spine & Orthopedic Institute, every patient’s experience matters. From expert care to compassionate support, hear how our team has helped individuals and families feel seen, heard, and truly cared for.

From the very first appointment, Dr. Minges was very honest and forthcoming and wasted no time. Considering I have previously had a lumbar fusion, which was very serious after deciding on treatment, and ultimately having another operation. He cleaned up everything from the first operation, fixed the new issue, and rebuilt the cage around my spine. Within 24 hours of being home from the hospital, I was off all medications, had zero side effects, and zero complications. I would 100% absolutely recommend Dr. Minges!

Satisfied Lumbar Fusion Patient

Had bulging disc in lower back. Pain rating was very high when it started. With Dr. Minges' help, I am back to doing what I was able to do prior to my injury with minimal to no pain. Really appreciate all that he has done to help me continue doing the things I love.
