Tuberculosis affecting the smaller bones of the foot is relatively infrequent. There is a paucity of data related to the tubercular involvement of cuboid and metatarsal bones. Diagnosis is challenging, especially in the absence of pulmonary involvement, a history of trauma, and contact with tuberculosis. We present a rare case of primary tuberculosis of the cuboid and fifth metatarsal without pulmonary involvement. The patient was started on anti-tubercular chemotherapy. A detailed literature search revealed that no such case with concomitant involvement of the cuboid and fifth metatarsal without pulmonary seeding has ever been reported.

Relationship between insertions of the tibialis anterior and peroneus longus and first tarsometatarsal joint degeneration.

Background: The purpose of this study was to clarify the relationships of the tibialis anterior tendon (TAT) and peroneus longus tendon (PLT) with articular cartilage degeneration on the medial cuneiform and first metatarsal.
Methods: We examined 100 feet from 50 Japanese cadavers. The TAT was classified into 4 types based on attachment site area and number of fiber bundles: Type I, two fiber bundles with equal (within 20%) attachment site areas on the first metatarsal and medial cuneiform; Type II, with two fiber bundles and a larger (>20%) attachment site area on the medial cuneiform than on the first metatarsal; Type III, with two fiber bundles and a larger (>20%) attachment site area on the first metatarsal than on the medial cuneiform; and Type IV, with three fiber bundles.

Background: Lisfranc injuries describe a spectrum of midfoot and tarsometatarsal joint (TMTJ) trauma ranging from purely ligamentous to multiple fracture-dislocations. Lisfranc injuries represent 0.2 % of all fractures and are seen predictably, with mechanisms involving a fall from height, crushing, or torsion.

From the Department of Anatomy, School of Medicine, Marmara University, Basibuyuk Yolu, Maltepe, Istanbul, Turkey (Dr. Ismailoglu, Dr. Sehirli, and Dr. Ayingen); the Department of Anatomy, School of Medicine, Acibadem Mehmet Ali Aydinlar University, Atasehir, Istanbul, Turkey (Dr. Bayramoglu and Dr. Savasan); and the Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Faculty of Medicine, Acibadem Mehmet Ali Aydinlar University, Atasehir, Istanbul, Turkey (Dr. Kocaoglu).
Purpose: The surgical approach for midfoot injuries classically requires dual dorsal incision and identification of the neurovascular structures that are susceptible to injury during the surgery. The aim of this study was to map the topographic anatomy of the dorsum of the foot along with tarsal joints for the dorsal approach of midfoot surgery that would facilitate the surgery and minimize the risk of neurovascular injuries for surgeons who specially focus on foot and ankle injuries.
Methods: The dorsum of the foot was evaluated in 12 feet injected with latex containing a red colorant to visualize the arterial vessels.
Successful Treatment of Renal Cell Carcinoma Associated with Hypertrophic Osteopathy in a Cat.

An eight-year-old spayed female Abyssinian cat presented with lameness. Palpation revealed swelling, heat, and a reduced range of motion in the stifle and tarsal joints in both hind limbs. A radiographic examination of both hind limbs revealed periosteal proliferation from the distal tibia to the tarsal and metatarsal bones, which suggested hypertrophic osteopathy.

Peroneal tears are an important cause of lateral ankle pain and are often missed. Peroneal tears can present in different combinations requiring different surgical strategies. If the tears are symptomatic in patients in whom conservative treatment has failed, surgery is an option.
