Abstract
A 17-year-old male tennis player presented to physical therapy via direct access with complaints of intermittent left lateral foot pain. Due to positive fracture testing and application of the Ottawa foot/ankle rules, an orthopaedist was consulted and radiographic imaging was performed. Radiographs revealed a nondisplaced avulsion fracture of the fifth metatarsal. <i>J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2019;49(8):620. doi:10.2519/jospt.2019.8534</i>.
