A cuboid fracture is a fracture of the cuboid bone of the foot. Diagnosis is by X-ray imaging, magnetic resonance imaging, or bone scan. [1] Treatment may be conservative or involve surgery, depending on the type of fracture. [1] They are rare. [1]
Nutcracker fracture refers to the comminuted fracture of the cuboid bone of the foot. [1] [2] [3] If treated improperly, it can lead to lateral column shortening and significant pain. [4] Nutcracker fracture is rare because of the relatively protected position of cuboid in the midfoot. [5]
The tarsometatarsal joints (Lisfranc joints) are arthrodial joints in the foot. The tarsometatarsal joints involve the first, second and third cuneiform bones, the cuboid bone and the metatarsal bones. The eponym of Lisfranc joint is 18th–19th-century surgeon and gynecologist Jacques Lisfranc de St. Martin. [1]
Only one muscle is attached to the cuboid bone; the tibialis posterior.The tibialis posterior inserts to the under surface of the cuboid bone. [2] While the flexor hallucis brevis arises, by a pointed tendinous process, from the medial part of the under surface of the cuboid bone, from the contiguous portion of the lateral cuneiform bone, and from the prolongation of the tendon of the tibialis ...
A Cuneiform fracture is an injury of the foot in which one or more of the Cuneiform bones are fractured. [2] The annual incidence of cuboid fracture is 1.8 injuries per 100,000 population. [ 3 ]
The articular surfaces of the two bones are relatively flat with some irregular undulations, which seem to suggest movement limited to a single rotation and some translation. However, the cuboid rotates as much as 25° about an oblique axis during inversion-eversion in a movement that could be called involution. [3]
The navicular bone is a keystone of the foot: it is part of the coxa pedis and articulates with the talus, first, second and third cuneiform, cuboid and calcaneus. It plays an important role in the biomechanics of the foot, helping in inversion, eversion, and motion; it is a structural link between midfoot and forefoot and it is part of the ...
There are three cuneiform ("wedge-shaped") bones in the human foot: the first or medial cuneiform; the second or intermediate cuneiform, also known as the middle cuneiform; the third or lateral cuneiform; They are located between the navicular bone and the first, second and third metatarsal bones and are medial to the cuboid bone.
