Fractures of the fifth metatarsal are commonly encountered injuries sustained in the foot and have been abundantly documented in trauma literature and surgical textbooks. A spiral oblique fracture of the fifth metatarsal shaft, also known as a dancer’s fracture, is often observed with a butterfly fragment. Due to the configuration and inherent instability of this fracture pattern, surgical intervention is typically warranted.

The goal of walking 10,000 steps per day is not rooted in science. Rather, it came from a clever Japanese marketing campaign in 1964, for a pedometer called the Manpo-kei: “man” meaning 10,000, “po” meaning steps, and “kei” meaning meter. Despite the origin, this number became a benchmark to achieve while walking for exercise, and it has become a focus of numerous scientific studies.

Diabetic foot is a common complication affecting more than one-fifth of patients with diabetes. If not treated in time, it may lead to diabetic foot ulcers or Charcot arthropathy. For the management of diabetic foot, shoe modifications and orthoses can be used to reduce pressure on the affected foot or provide the foot with increased stability. In addition, the shoe modifications and orthotic devices can relieve patient discomfort during walking. Appropriate shoe modifications include changing the insole material, modifying the heel height, adding a steel shank or rocker sole, and using in-depth shoes.
