Purpose:
The purpose of this study was to define the fracture type and investigate the injuries related to single medial, intermediate, or lateral cuneiform fracture.
Methods:
From January 2008 to December 2018, 30 consecutive patients (30 cases) who were treated in the single institution for the single cuneiform fractures were reviewed retrospectively. Each fracture was categorized by location and type (intra- or extra-articular avulsion, axial compression, and direct blow). We also investigated the related foot bone fractures or dislocations on the affected side.
Results:
Twenty-one, one, and eight cases with single medial, intermediate, and lateral cuneiform bone fractures, respectively, were identified. More than two-thirds of the single cuneiform fractures were observed in the medial cuneiform bone. The single medial cuneiform fracture was associated with various types of foot injuries including Lisfranc injury, naviculo-cuneiform joint dislocation, or calcaneo-cuboidal dislocation. Single lateral cuneiform fractures were more frequently observed than single intermediate cuneiform fractures.
Conclusion:
More than two-thirds of the single cuneiform fractures were observed in the medial cuneiform bone. Most intra-articular avulsion fractures were associated with high-energy trauma.
Level Of Evidence:
4.

How Data are Classified: Categorical Data
Data are classified based on whether they are measurable or not. Categorical data cannot be measured; instead, it can be divided into categories. For example, if Y denotes a person's party affiliation, some examples of Y include...
Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...

Burn Injuries
The damage results in the death of skin cells, which can lead to a massive loss of fluid. Dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, and renal and circulatory failure follow, which can be fatal. Burn patients are treated with intravenous fluids to offset...
