Cunieform

BACKGROUND: Foot involvement in osteoarticular tuberculosis is uncommon and isolated bony involvement of foot bones with an osteolytic defect is even more rare; diagnostic and therapeutic delays can occur, worsening the prognosis. We present a retrospective series of osteolytic variety of foot tuberculosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We present 24 osteolytic variety of foot tuberculosis (Eleven calcaneus, four cuboid, two cunieforms, one talus, three metatarsals, three phalanges) out of 92 foot TB cases collected over last 20 years...

We present one very rare case of patient with an isolated dorsal dislocation of the middle cuneiform (closed injury) sustained after a fall. He was treated surgically through a dorsal approach and fixation with K-wires after manual reduction was unsuccessful. A cast was applied for a total of 6 weeks followed by active range-of-motion exercises. At the 18-month follow-up, he was asymptomatic.

Midfoot fractures, which include injuries to the tarsal navicular, cunieforms, and the cuboid, are uncommonly detected. Prompt diagnosis and appropriate treatment of these fractures are essential for maintaining normal foot biomechanical function. This article reviews various midfoot fractures.
