Although intramedullary screw fixation is commonly performed for proximal fifth metatarsal fractures, high rates of nonunion, refracture, and hardware prominence have been reported. The Jones Specific Implant (JSI) is a novel surgical implant which contours to the native curvature of the fifth metatarsal allowing for a more anatomic fixation. The purpose of this study was to compare short-term complication rates and outcomes of patients treated with the JSI to other fixation types such as plates and intramedullary screws. Electronic records were queried for adult patients with proximal fifth metatarsal fractures who underwent primary fixation from 2010 to 2021. All patients were treated by a foot and ankle fellowship-trained surgeon with intramedullary screws, plates, or JSI (Arthrex Inc., Naples, FL). Visual analog scale (VAS) and the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Score (AOFAS) were recorded and compared using univariate statistics. Eighty-five patients underwent fixation using intramedullary screw (n = 51, 60%), plate (n = 22, 25.9%), or JSI (n = 12, 14.1%) with a mean follow-up of 11.1 ± 14.6 months. The total cohort demonstrated a significant improvement in VAS pain (p < .0001) as well as AOFAS (p < .0001) scores. When comparing the cohort treated with JSI and the cohort treated with all other types of fixation, there were no significant differences in postoperative VAS or AOFAS scores. Only 3 complications, one with JSI (3.5%) required removal of the symptomatic hardware. The JSI is a novel treatment for proximal fifth metatarsal fractures, with similar early outcomes and complication rates when compared with intramedullary screw and plate fixation.
