Used to just be able to be the first person who described a fracture they saw in really specific circumstances.

Sometimes it was their own fracture!

FRACTURE OF THE BASE OF THE FIFTH METATARSAL BONE BY INDIRECT VIOLENCE. By ROBERT JONES, F.R.C.S., OF LIVERPOOL, SURGEON TO THE ROYAL SOUTHERN HOSPITAL, LIVERPOOL. Some months ago, whilst dancing, I trod on the outer side of my foot, my heel at the moment being off the ground. Something gave way midway down my foot, and I at once suspected a rupture of the peroneus longus tendon. By the help of a friend I managed to walk to my cab, a distance of over 300 or 400 yards. The following morning I carefully examined my foot and discovered that my tendon was intact. There was a slight swelling over the base of the fifth metatarsal bone. I endeavored to obtain crepitus and failed. A finger on the spot gave exquisite pain. Body pressure on the toes, even the slightest, was painful; but when the pressure was deviated to the outer side the pain was still greater. Extension of the ankle and flexion of the toes were immediately felt at the base of the fifth metatarsal.
