Hello all,

I fractured my 5th met 4 weeks ago playing sports, I rolled my ankle.
I am currently in a walking boot (moon boot) for most of the time.
On my latest visit to the fracture clinic, the doctor seemed to think I have a jones fracture.
Upon reviewing the xray, I think its borderline as it doesn't quite extend into the 4th-5h metatarsal joint.
What do you think?
Also its displaced, but not sure if the amount is significant or not?
The xray is from the day of the injury - attached....
