Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Anatomy
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Os vesalianum pedis is an accessory ossicle located near the base of the fifth metatarsal.
  • It is typically found within the peroneus brevis tendon and is asymptomatic in most individuals.
  • Reported prevalence ranges from 0.1% to 1.0%.

Observation:

  • This report details a specific case of os vesalianum pedis.
  • The observed ossicle exhibited a distinct mediocuboidal articulation.
  • This anatomical variation is uncommon.

Findings:

  • The presence of os vesalianum pedis with a unique mediocuboidal articulation was identified.
  • Radiological imaging was crucial for characterizing this accessory bone.
  • Differential diagnoses for this ossicle were explored.

Implications:

  • Understanding variations in accessory ossicles like os vesalianum pedis is vital for accurate diagnosis.
  • This case underscores the need for thorough radiologic assessment in foot pain.
  • Recognizing such anatomical variations aids in differentiating them from fractures or other pathologies.
