Isolated cuneiform fractures rarely occur, but must be considered in the differential diagnosis for midfoot injuries. Along with other nondisplaced, nondislocated midfoot injuries, these fractures are commonly missed or delayed in diagnosis. A review of the literature reveals only three other reported cases of isolated medial cuneiform fractures. Because of the difficulties with finding nondisplaced, nondislocated cuneiform fractures on plain film, further studies should be considered. Other medial cuneiform fractures found in the literature were nonisolated. This report describes a case of isolated medial cuneiform fracture in a 26-year-old Special Forces soldier that resulted in a significant delay of diagnosis.

Background: Midfoot pain is common but poorly understood, with radiographs often indicating no anomalies. This study aimed to describe bone, joint and soft tissue changes and to explore associations between MRI-detected abnormalities and clinical symptoms (pain and disability) in a group of adults with midfoot pain, but who were radiographically negative for osteoarthritis.
Methods: Community-based participants with midfoot pain underwent an MRI scan of one foot and scored semi-quantitatively using the Foot OsteoArthritis MRI Score (FOAMRIS).

This study follows up on previous research conducted by Litavec (J Forensic Sci., 68, 2023, 1780) on sorting commingled sacroiliac joints using deviation analysis. In the present report, the results of this technique are expanded to separating commingled first tarsometatarsal and atlantoaxial joints.

Background: Bipartite medial cuneiform bone (BMC) is located at the Lisfranc joint of the midfoot, and it represents a rare variant involving two separate ossification centers in the medial cuneiform bone. Although BMC is typically asymptomatic, it can become clinically relevant under conditions of trauma or chronic stress, affecting foot stability.
Case Report: The current imaging report describes a 48-year-old female presenting with chronic dorsal midfoot pain, worsened by extended standing and ambulation.

To compare the efficacy of dorsal approach and medial approach in the treatment of Lisfranc injury. A retrospective cohort study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 43 patients with closed Lisfranc injuries admitted to Tongji Hospital of Tongji University from January 2017 to December 2021. The surgical approach were open reduction and internal fixation or metatarsal cuneiform joint fusion, with 23 cases using the dorsal approach and 20 cases using the medial approach.

Article Synopsis
- The cortico-basal ganglia loop has been traditionally seen as three separate networks: motor, limbic, and associative, but this view doesn’t fully capture its complexity, especially in sensory processing like hearing.
- Recent research demonstrates an auditory-specific loop within this system using transgenic mice, identifying the caudal external globus pallidus (GPe) as a key output node.
- GABAergic neurons in the caudal GPe are crucial as they connect to various brain regions, suggesting these circuits could be important for triggering defensive responses to sounds.
