Combined Osseous Medial Cuneonavicular Coalition and Nonosseous Naviculocuboid Coalition Presenting as First Metatarsophalangeal Joint Pain.

Tarsal coalitions of the lesser tarsus are relatively rare congenital anomalies. A case report of a 54-year-old man with an osseous medial cuneonavicular coalition and a nonosseous naviculocuboid coalition that presented as first metatarsophalangeal joint pain is described.

Isolated Fracture of the Medial Cuneiform.

An isolated medial cuneiform fracture is a rarely encountered injury of the foot. We present a case of an isolated medial cuneiform fracture in a patient after sustaining a fall from a 15-foot height. Treatment consisted of primary arthrodesis of the first tarsometatarsal joint due to a high degree of comminution and intra-articular pain.

Case presentations and review of plexiform schwannoma in the foot.

Plexiform schwannoma is a soft tissue tumor that rarely presents in the lower extremity. We have reported on 2 cases of plexiform schwannomas that occurred in the foot and ankle. Owing to the relative obscurity of this condition in the lower extremity, we have also provided an overview of plexiform schwannomas and discussed the differences between this and other suspicious nodular soft tissue masses.

Gutter impingement after total ankle arthroplasty.

Background: Symptomatic gutter impingement after ankle arthroplasty has been reported with various designs. However, the incidence and origin of impingement have not been fully elucidated. Furthermore, the outcome of patients following gutter debridement has not been reported.

Partial avascular necrosis after talar neck fracture.

Background: Recently, it has been shown that avascular necrosis of the talus can occur in only a portion of the talar body. There is little information regarding the geographic location of the avascular segment and the clinical significance of an incomplete avascular process.

Methods: Seven patients with partial avascular necrosis after Hawkins type II or III fracture dislocations were evaluated with magnetic resonance scans.
