Metatarsocuneiform coalition

F N Day, J J Naples, J White

    Journal of the American Podiatric Medical Association
    |April 1, 1994
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    An unusual congenital osseous coalition (bone fusion) between the third metatarsal base and third cuneiform was identified. This incidental finding resolved without intervention, highlighting potential asymptomatic foot anomalies.

    Area of Science:

    • Podiatry
    • Radiology
    • Orthopedics

    Background:

    • Congenital osseous coalitions are rare anomalies where bones abnormally fuse.
    • These fusions can occur between tarsal bones, metatarsals, or other foot structures.
    • Early diagnosis and management are crucial for preventing long-term complications.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with an unusual anomaly identified as a congenital osseous coalition.
    • Radiographs and fluoroscopy revealed a complete osseous fusion between the third metatarsal base and the third cuneiform in the left foot.
    • No joint space was discernible between these bones.

    Findings:

    • The patient became asymptomatic, indicating the coalition did not cause functional impairment.
    • No surgical intervention was required due to the asymptomatic nature of the condition.

  • The hereditary nature of this specific coalition could not be assessed as parents were unavailable for radiography.

    • Implications:

    • This case highlights that osseous coalitions can be asymptomatic incidental findings.
    • Podiatric physicians should be aware of such anomalies that may not require treatment.
    • Further research may be needed to understand the prevalence and clinical significance of asymptomatic foot coalitions.
