Yes, Markiplier has suffered from a Jones fracture, one of his most common foot injuries.

Markiplier, one of YouTube's most prominent gaming personalities, revealed on Twitter that he had injured his foot. Markiplier is no stranger to pain and injury; as a child, he "cracked open" his skull while playing on the stairs, broke his forearm in two places, suffered from severe appendicitis, and had a "fist-sized" tumour removed from his adrenal gland around the same time.

Mark prepared an entire film describing his ideas on pain, which are drastically different from the ordinary person's sense of unpleasant physical sensations.

Who is Markiplier?

Mark Edward Fischbach, best known online as Markiplier, is a YouTuber, producer, actor, and co-host of the now-defunct Unus Annus channel. He is the younger brother of TwoKinds author and artist Thomas Fischbach.

Mark is well-known for his multiple playthroughs (Let's Plays) of horror games such as Amnesia: The Dark Descent, Five Nights at Freddy's, and Slender, but his primary focus is on independent games of all genres to give them more exposure.

Has Markiplier ever broken a bone?

He broke the news that he’d broken his foot on February 21, and his reaction to the issue was less dramatic. Mark merely wrote in a humorous series of Tweets: “Might’ve broken my foot,” followed by, “Yeah it’s broke.” Many fans may have assumed that Markiplier had the injury while filming the sequel to his 2019 YouTube interactive adventure, 'A Heist with Markiplier,' after hearing this news.

Knowing his fanbase would be worried, the YouTuber went live shortly after leaving the hospital, claiming he’d suffered a Jones Fracture. Markiplier sent a message to his 28.5 million followers, explaining that he'd walked awkwardly on a storm drain, twisted his ankle and fractured at least one bone in his foot.

What is a Jones Fracture?

A Jones fracture is a fracture of the fifth metatarsal bone on the pinky-toe side of your foot. This fracture can occur when you increase your training, put more strain on your feet due to weight growth, or run on uneven surfaces. The Jones fracture is the most devastating of the fifth metatarsal fractures.

Whether a doctor suggests non-surgical therapy, such as immobilisation, or surgery to repair a Jones fracture depends on several criteria. It may take many weeks for your symptoms to improve before you may resume walking.
