Summary
This study provides essential anatomical data for the ossa cuneiformia (cuneiform bones), revealing key measurements and variations. Understanding these cuneiform bone dimensions is crucial for effective midfoot surgery and implant design.
Area of Science:
- Anatomy
- Orthopedics
- Podiatry
Background:
- Limited detailed anatomical data exists for the ossa cuneiformia.
- Accurate anatomical knowledge is vital for surgical procedures and device development in the midfoot.
Purpose of the Study:
- To conduct a comprehensive anatomical evaluation of the ossa cuneiformia.
- To establish baseline measurements and identify variations in cuneiform bone anatomy.
Main Methods:
- Analysis of 100 non-pathological foot CT scans.
- Detailed measurement of length, height, and width for medial, intermediate, and lateral cuneiform bones.
- Assessment of articular surface dimensions and correlation with gender and foot length.
Main Results:
- Provided specific mean dimensions for medial (24.0x17.3x28.0 mm), intermediate (18.2x15.8x22.5 mm), and lateral (26.4x17.2x22.8 mm) cuneiform bones.
- Identified statistically significant differences in dimensions based on gender and foot length for certain parameters.
- Quantified articular surface measurements for each cuneiform bone.
Conclusions:
- The study presents fundamental anatomical data for the ossa cuneiformia.
- These findings can inform the design and placement of implants used in midfoot reconstructive surgery.
- The data highlights anatomical variability relevant to clinical practice.

Tomography refers to imaging by sections. Computed tomography (CT) is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses computers to analyze several cross-sectional X-rays to reveal minute details about structures in the body.
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...

The human tooth enables us to eat a variety of foods, speak clearly, and even aid in shaping our faces. Teeth are composed of various elements that work together. Here's a detailed look at the anatomy of a human tooth.
The Crown, Neck, and Root
The visible part of the tooth is referred to as the crown. It's covered by enamel, the hardest substance in the human body. The crown is uniquely shaped for each type of tooth, allowing for different functions such as cutting, tearing, or...

The eye is a spherical, hollow structure composed of three tissue layers. The outer layer — the fibrous tunic, comprises the sclera — a white structure — and the cornea, which is transparent. The sclera encompasses some of the ocular surface, most of which is not visible. However, the 'white of the eye' is distinctively visible in humans compared to other species. The cornea, a clear covering at the front of the eye, enables light penetration. The eye's middle...

The human heart is made up of three layers of tissue that are surrounded by the pericardium, a membrane that protects and confines the heart. The outermost layer, closest to the pericardium, is the epicardium. The pericardial cavity separates the pericardium from the epicardium. Beneath the epicardium is the myocardium, the middle layer, and the endocardium, the innermost layer. There are four chambers of the heart: the right atrium, the right ventricle, the left atrium, and the left ventricle.
