Case ReportsStress fracture of the tarsal middle cuneiform bone. A case report.
The authors have presented what they believe is the only reported case of a stress fracture of the tarsal middle cuneiform bone. Stress fracture pathogenesis, as well as diagnosis and treatment, were reviewed. ⋯ The ligamentous and osseous architecture of this region also can produce a midfoot buckling when the foot is plantarflexed against resistance. Prompt diagnosis and treatment is the key in preventing the stress fracture from becoming a chronic source of discomfort.
