1 Eponymous Fractures Boxer's Fracture fracture of metacarpal bones
Classically transversely across the neck of the metacarpal striking an object with a closed fist. (Also know as Scrapper's fracture or Bar Room fracture)

2 Chauffeur’s Fracture -intraarticular fractures of the radial styloid process. -radial styloid is within the fracture -fracture fragment can vary markedly in size - Result from FOOSH, or historically from car back-fired whilst hand cranking to start -(Also known as Hutchinson fractures, backfire fractures)

3 Lisfranc Fracture -Disruption of the tarsometatarsal ligamentous joint complex. -The Lisfranc ligament attaches the medial cuneiform to the 2nd metatarsal base on the plantar aspect of the foot. Its integrity is crucial to the stability of the Lisfranc joint. -Direct Lisfranc injuries can be caused by a crush injury to the midfoot -Indirect Lisfranc injuries are caused by a sudden rotation force on a plantar flexed forefoot.

4 March Fracture -fracture of the distal third of one of the metatarsals
-most commonly 2nd and 3rd metatarsals - Occur as a result of recurrent stress(eg. soldiers, hikers, organists) - common cause of foot pain, especially with history of sudden increase in activities. (also known as fatigue fracture or stress fracture of metatarsal bone)
