Introduction/purpose:: Fifth metatarsal fractures are the most commonly fractured metatarsal in adults and are associated with high rates of nonunion. This study compared the 9-month incidence of nonunion in fifth metatarsal fracture patients using EXOGEN (Bioventus LLC), low-intensity pulsed ultrasound, versus a control cohort of patients receiving standard of care.

Methods:: Adults (21-80 years) prescribed EXOGEN for any acute or delayed fifth metatarsal fracture and initiated treatment within 91 days of the fracture were enrolled via prescription record abstraction and direct-to-patient outreach.

However, there have been surprisingly few empirical studies of the relationship between perceived racism and blood pressure (BP) or cardiovascular reactivity (CVR), a possible marker of mechanisms culminating in cardiovascular disease.
