  • The extensor pollicis longus (EPL) is a crucial muscle for thumb extension, and its rupture can significantly impair hand function in patients.

Article Synopsis
  • The fifth metatarsal base avulsion fracture, known as a pseudo-Jones fracture, is a prevalent foot injury that can be treated either through surgery or conservatively.

  • Findings showed no significant differences in clinical outcomes, pain levels, or non-union rates between the two treatment methods, suggesting that both approaches are equally effective for managing pseudo-Jones fractures.
