Os Intermetatarseum and Polymetatarsia Without Polydactyly: A Case Report
Journal of the American Podiatric Medical Association
|November 12, 2020
Abstract:
Nontraumatic bony abnormalities of the foot occur at different rates, according to the literature. However, it is uncommon to see rare variations presenting together in one patient. This article discusses two less common anomalies: fused os intermetatarseum and polymetatarsia without polydactyly. Etiology, symptomology, diagnosis, and treatment are reviewed, in addition to the relationship of the two conditions to each other. We then discuss a case where both anomalies are present at the same time in a 17-year-old patient.
