BACKGROUND
Tarsal coalitions typically occur at the talocalcaneal or calcaneonavicular joints. Common findings are pain, limited range of motion, and a pes planus deformity.
METHODS
The focus of this case report will include the presentation, imaging, treatment, and outcomes for a 21-year-old female diagnosed with a rare lateral cuneo-cuboid coalition with chronic pain. Clinical and radiographic examinations, typically utilized to diagnose the common coalition, were unremarkable. An MRI was diagnostic of the lateral cuneo-cuboid coalition and was successfully treated with surgical resection.
RESULTS
At 6-year follow-up, she reports resolution of symptoms and has returned to her normal pre-surgical activity level pain-free.
CONCLUSIONS
This case is only the third lateral cuneo-cuboid coalition reported in the literature. The rarity of this coalition and unsuspecting clinical presentation makes it worthy of acknowledgement.
