This report discusses an unusual case of a 23-year-old woman with a painful bipartite medial cuneiform and severe arthritic and cystic changes at the partition with no history of trauma. Magnetic resonance imaging confirmed a large cyst with subchondral erosions at the dorsal and plantar segments with significant bone marrow edema. Definitive treatment consisted of arthrodesis on the dorsal to plantar segments using one lag screw, demineralized bone matrix grafting, and a bone stimulator.

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.

Article Synopsis
  • This study focuses on the importance of secondary soft tissue surgeries for improving facial appearance in patients with syndromic craniosynostosis, highlighting that such procedures are often overlooked in medical literature.
  • Researchers conducted a retrospective review of 106 patients treated at a children's hospital from 2003 to 2023, assessing both skeletal and soft tissue surgeries.
  • The findings revealed that a high percentage of patients underwent soft tissue procedures (95.3%), with significant correlations between previous skeletal surgeries and the likelihood of needing additional soft tissue interventions.

The plantaris muscle consists of a small muscular and a long tendinous part and is located at the superficial compartment of the posterior leg. The purpose of the current cadaveric report is to describe a rare variant of the plantaris muscle. During a routine dissection, a three-headed plantaris with two accessory heads was identified with a variant insertion of the two accessory heads.

  • The study assessed the effectiveness of conservative treatments for atraumatic medial sesamoid pain (MSP) in 27 patients involved in sports, focusing on treatment outcomes and underlying pathologies.
  • Nearly half (48.1%) of the patients reported pain relief after treatment, but factors like age, body weight, and the type of sport influenced their recovery outcomes.
  • MRI revealed that 42.8% of patients had no notable abnormalities, with common issues identified being soft tissue signal changes and intraosseous signal changes in the medial sesamoid bone.*

We present the case of a symptomatic patient with two separate accessory navicular bones, a novel finding that does not fall within current classification standards. Furthermore, there is a paucity of current literature with regard to the management of symptomatic cases. Accessory navicular bones, sometimes referred to as os naviculare, are ossicles that can occur in multiple configurations and are considered developmental anomalies.
