AB A  37-year-old  man  inverted  his  ankle  while  playing  basketball  with  his  teenagers  in  their  driveway.  He  felt  a  pop  and  had  immediate  pain.  He  had  tenderness  over  the  base  of  his  fifth  metatarsal.  Having  met  the  Ottawa  ankle  rules  for  radiographs  (see  later),  a  radiograph  was  obtained,  which  revealed  a  nondisplaced  fracture  at  the  base  of  the  fifth  metatarsal  (Figure  104-1).
