The fifth metatarsal is the bone on the outside edge of the foot. The distal part of it is the part farthest from the ankle and closest to the little toe.
It inserts onto the 5th metatarsal from the distal fibula

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).
Base of the 5th Metatarsal
The origin is the distal attachment of a muscle

There are 26 bones in each foot, not including the 2 sesamoid bones located underneath the first metatarsal head. starting from number 1 (heel) move to number 17 (last bone of each toe not including big toe) you might want to google these bones to see in x-ray or picture where exactly they are if you are unsure 1 Calcaneus 2 Talus 3 Navicular 4 Medial cuneiform 5 Intermediate cuneiform 6 Lateral cuneiform 7 Cuboid 8 First metatarsal 9 Second metatarsal 10 Third metatarsal 11 Fourth metatarsal 12 Fifth metatarsal 13 Proximal phalanx of great toe 14 Distal phalanx of great toe 15 Proximal phalanx of second toe 16 Middle phalanx of second toe 17 Distal phalanx of second toe
The growth plate in the 5th metatarsal usually fuses between the ages of 13-15 for girls and 15-17 for boys. However, individual variations in growth plate fusion timing can occur.
100,000-225,000 depending if it is broken or fractured.
Distal to the metatarsals are the phalanges. The great toe (hallux) has two phalanges where as all of the other toes have three each. The proximal phalanges attach the the metatarsals via the metatarsal phalangeal joints. Proximal to the metatarsals are the tarsals. The first, second, and third cuneiforms articulate with the first, second and third metatarsals. The fourth metatarsal articulates with the cuboid and the head of the fifth metatarsal is its own projection that can be felt on the lateral foot.
Three-fourths, or 3/4.
