Osteonecrosis of the Intermediate Cuneiform: A Case Report[*]
Article in several languages: português | English
Abstract
Osteonecrosis is a disease that rarely affects the bones of the foot. When present, it is more common in the talus and in the navicular. Cases of osteonecrosis of the intermediate cuneiform are extremely rare, and after a thorough bibliographic review, we found only five reports in the literature, all of them in pediatric patients. Below, we present the case of an adult patient with osteonecrosis of the intermediate cuneiform that was resistant to conservative treatment. Thus, we proposed a surgical approach with good results. Level of Evidence V; Therapeutic Studies; Expert Opinion.
* Study conducted at the University Hospital of Medical Sciences (FCMMG), Belo Horizonte, MG, Brazil.
