...Or fracture of the talus Os Calsis?
Balerina fractures I know of are to an extra bone in the talus due to pointing the toes and walking on toes. Fifth metatarsal fractures, or "lateral foot" fractures are more of an overuse problem in runners and are known as Jone's fractures. Jone's fractures frequently require electrical stimulation and surgery to heal. Avulsion fractures of the 5'th metatarsal are due to tendon pulling off a divot of bone with strong muscular contraction on eversion. These frequently heal without incident.
Not sure what text your doc is using to call you a ballerina, but please refrain from wearing the tutu.
