[Isolated bilateral medial cuneiform fracture: a case report]. / Izolowane i obustronne zlamanie kosci klinowatych przysrodkowych: opis przypadku.

ABSTRACT

UNLABELLED Midfoot bones fractures are usually unisolated and associated with a high-energy trauma. Unfortunately a such fracture it is often missed or delayed in primary diagnosis. Isolated medial cuneiform fracture is a very rare injury. A review of the literature reveals only few cases and none of bilateral. CASE REPORT We report of undisplaced isolated bilateral medial cuneiform fracture in 26-year-old woman after dancing trauma. Because of unclear physical examination and plain x-rays film, computed tomography was necessary. Early correct diagnosis allowed appropriate conservative treatment with good result. CONCLUSIONS: Cuneiform bones fractures are much more common than previously reported. Computed tomography should be considered even in cases of low energy trauma.
