Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic anatomy
  • Radiology
  • Skeletal biomechanics

Background:

  • The first metatarsal bone is crucial for foot function and biomechanics.
  • Accurate radiographic assessment of the first metatarsal is essential for diagnosing various foot pathologies.
  • Detailed anatomical landmarks on radiographs are often challenging to precisely identify.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish and illustrate the normal radiographic anatomy of the first metatarsal bone.
  • To identify and correlate specific extra-articular and distal articular anatomical landmarks with their radiographic representations.
  • To provide a comprehensive guide for interpreting first metatarsal radiographs.

Main Methods:

  • Cadaver dissection was performed to identify key anatomical structures.
  • Osteologic specimens of the first metatarsal were examined.
  • Radiographs (dorsoplantar, lateral, lateral oblique, medial oblique) were taken of 15 identified osteologic sites.
  • Wire markers were used to delineate anatomical landmarks.

Main Results:

  • Normal radiographic anatomy of the first metatarsal was established.
  • Key landmarks including articular margins, diaphyseal borders, ligament origins/insertions, and tendon insertions were identified and radiographed.
  • Radiographic images of 15 distinct osteologic sites were presented and correlated with gross anatomy.

Conclusions:

  • This study provides a detailed radiographic atlas of the first metatarsal bone.
  • The findings facilitate accurate identification of anatomical landmarks on radiographs.
  • This resource aids in the diagnosis and management of first metatarsal pathologies.
