Surgical Management of Jones Fractures in Athletes: Orthobiologic Augmentation: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of 718 Fractures.

Orthobiologically augmented surgical fixation of Jones fractures in athletes is becoming increasingly common, despite the lack of comparative studies to support this practice. Biologically augmented fixation of Jones fractures results in higher fracture union rates than fixation alone but similar rates of RTP and time to RTP. Although the current evidence recommends primary surgical fixation for the management of Jones fractures in athletes, further high quality comparative studies are required to establish the indication for orthobiologic augmentation.
