A number of different screws are used for Jones fracture fixation in cases in which hastened healing is desirable or nonoperative treatment has failed. None of them were designed for this application, and consequently there is a lack of continuity in screw configuration and sizing that can force the use of a screw that is not optimally size-matched to the metatarsal. This can be particularly problematic in high-demand patients such as athletes, in whom screw fixation failure is more likely to occur. Application-specific screws available in graduated sizes are now an option. This study was designed to compare the bending fatigue resistance of the new screws with that of clinically-proven contemporary Jones fracture fixation screws. The results may provide a basis for judging the probability of successful screw performance relative to the other established screw options.
