‘Osteosynthesis’ of a Symptomatic Bipartite Medial Cuneiform

Abstract

Bipartition of the medial cuneiform is uncommon and often not recognized on plain radiographs. It is usually asymptomatic and rarely, if ever, requires surgery. Injury to the synchondrosis of a bipartite medial cuneiform is rare and has, to our knowledge, been reported only once. We describe such a case with chronic disabling midfoot pain after remote trauma.
