March Fracture

In this article, we will discuss the Definition of March Fracture. So, let’s get started.

It is defined as the fracture of distal 1/3rd of one of the metatarsals (commonly occurring in the second and third metatarsal) as a result of recurrent stress injury. It is more common in soldiers, hikers and individuals who perform long standing work. Symptoms include sharp pain in the foot as soon as the individual takes off his/her shoes and there is associated local edema on the dorsal aspect of the affected foot. March fracture is one of the common cause of foot pain, especially after sudden increase in activities.

Treatment includes reduction/restriction of movements for 6-12 weeks. Wooden-soled shoes or cast as supportive orthosis and conservative pain management (rest, pain killers, hot/cold compression packs).

In this article, we will discuss the Rolando Fracture. So, let’s get started.

Rolando Fracture

It is a three part or comminuted intra-articular fracture through the base of first metacarpal bone. It was described by Silvio Ronaldo in the year 1910. The fracture consists of three distinct fragments; typically T- or Y- shaped. The volar fragment remains attached to the carpometacarpal joint, while the main dorsal fragment subluxes or dislocates dorsally and radially due to the unopposed pull of the abductor pollicis longus muscle.

Mechanism of Injury

It is usually an axial blow to a partially flexed metacarpal, such as a fistfight.

Treatment

Treatment includes reduction with tension band wiring technique (it is a technique in which fracture fragments are transfixed by Kirschner wire) accompanied by external fixation.
