We present a case of a unique midfoot injury pattern including dislocations of the calcaneocuboid and naviculocuneiform joints with associated calcaneus and navicular fractures after low-energy injury. This combination of injuries is rare, especially with a low-energy mechanism. There are no current treatment guidelines. In this case, the patient was treated with open reduction and internal fixation of the navicular fracture, along with bridge plating of the calcaneocuboid joint, which was subsequently removed nine weeks post-operatively with good functional outcomes.

Background: To provide improved treatment for hallux valgus (HV), we sought to understand more about the pathophysiologic connection between flatfoot deformity and HV by comparing coronal plane alignment of the medial column of the foot for patients with isolated HV, isolated flatfoot, and combined HV-flatfoot vs controls.
Methods: This study retrospectively assessed a consecutive series of 33 patients with combined symptomatic and radiographic HV and flatfoot, 33 isolated symptomatic HV, 33 isolated symptomatic flatfoot, and 33 controls. The medial column alignment was assessed in the coronal plane using 3-dimensional weightbearing computed tomography (WBCT); rotation was measured for the navicular, medial cuneiform, and first metatarsal (M1).
Anatomy of the Naviculocuneiform Joint Complex.

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Western Michigan University Homer Stryker School of Medicine, Kalamazoo, MI, USA.
Background: The purpose of this study was to quantify the articular surfaces of the naviculocuneiform (NC) joint to help clinicians better understand common pathologies observed such as navicular stress fractures and arthrodesis nonunions.
Methods: Twenty cadaver NC joints were dissected and the articular cartilage of the navicular, medial, middle, and lateral cuneiforms were quantified by calibrated digital imaging software. Statistical analysis included calculating the mean cartilage surface area dimensions of the distal navicular and proximal cuneiform bones.
Comparison of different interposition techniques after surgical resection of tarsal coalitions in children: a systematic review.

Article Synopsis
- The review aimed to analyze the effectiveness of different interposition materials used during surgical treatment for tarsal coalitions in children and their impact on recurrence rates.
- Out of 294 articles, 21 studies involving 436 patients and 581 feet were included, focusing on various coalition types and surgical methods.
- Overall, the findings indicated low recurrence rates (9%) across different interposition techniques, but it remains unclear which specific material yields the best results due to diverse study quality and lack of statistical comparison.
Assessing the coronal plane deformity in Charcot Marie Tooth Cavovarus feet using automated 3D measurements.

Background: This study assesses the coronal-plane deformities in cavovarus feet secondary to Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) using Weightbearing-CT (WBCT) and semi-automated 3D-segmentation software.
Methods: WBCTs from 30 CMT-cavovarus feet were matched to 30 controls and analysed using semi-automatic 3D-segmentation (Bonelogic, DISIOR). The software used automated cross-section sampling with subsequent straight-line representation of weighted centre points to calculate 3D axes of bones in the hindfoot, midfoot and forefoot.
