Illusional tarsometatarsal synostosis

E Gutman

    Southern Medical Journal
    |January 1, 1981
    PubMed
    Summary

    Congenital synostosis between the third metatarsal and third cuneiform bones can be suggested by imaging. X-ray films confirmed these congenital joints are present and intact in two reviewed cases.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Radiology
    • Anatomy

    Background:

    • Congenital anomalies of the foot and ankle can present diagnostic challenges.
    • Synostosis, a fusion of bones, can occur congenitally and affect foot biomechanics.

    Observation:

    • Two cases exhibited clinical and radiographic findings suggestive of congenital synostosis.
    • Specifically, the fusion appeared to involve the third metatarsal and third cuneiform bones.

    Findings:

    • Supplementary X-ray examinations confirmed the presence of intact congenital joints between the third metatarsal and third cuneiform.
    • These findings highlight a specific type of tarsal coalition.

    Implications:

    • This information is crucial for nonskeletal radiologists and other physicians who may encounter such cases.
    • Accurate diagnosis of congenital tarsal coalitions is important for appropriate clinical management and surgical planning.
