The fifth metatarsal is considered an appendicular bone because it is part of the appendicular skeleton, which includes the bones of the limbs and their girdles.
A Jones fracture is a fracture of the 5th metatarsal of the foot. It is often mistaken for a Dancer's fracture (avulsion of bone off base of 5th metatarsal).
