Radiographically Occult Medial Cuneiform Impaction Fracture
A direct-access physical therapy evaluation led to the diagnosis of a medial cuneiform fracture, initially missed by radiographs. This highlights the importance of physical therapists in identifying subtle foot injuries.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedic Sports Medicine
- Radiology
- Physical Therapy
Background:
- Midfoot pain can result from various injuries, including fractures.
- Initial radiographic imaging may not always detect subtle fractures.
- Direct-access physical therapy offers a pathway for patients to receive specialized evaluation without physician referral.
