Abstract
The current study shows the effectiveness of low profile hook plate fixation for displaced intra-articular zone I and II fractures . We recommend it as one of the useful techniques for fixation of these fractures. According to the results of the current study we recommend the following:Metatarsal fractures are common injuries of the foot frequently seen in emergency departments. The base of the Fifth metatarsal is the commonest one. Classifications of these fractures are based on anatomical region, patient history and radiological findings. Depending on these classifications and patient{u2019}s activity level, treatment can be conservative or operative. There has been rising concern to treat this injury operatively especially in fifth metatarsal injuries prone to complications with conservative management. A watershed area at the metaphysis-diaphysis junction which accounts for the higher risk of delayed union and non-union of fractures in this region. Many classifications are used to classify fractures of base of 5th metatarsals, Lawrence and Botte{u2019}s Classifications were used in our study. They classify the fracture into three zones according to the site of the fracture
