Radiographic assessment of medial cuneiform opening wedge osteotomy for flatfoot correction.

BACKGROUND Opening wedge osteotomy of the medial cuneiform has become an established intervention for correction of forefoot varus in relation to a flatfoot deformity. The purpose of this study was to use a newly described radiographic measurement to determine the effectiveness and durability of the medial column correction with a plantarflexion opening wedge osteotomy of the medial cuneiform w...

CT density analysis of the medial cuneiform.

BACKGROUND A cannulated lag screw inserted through the medial cuneiform into the base of the second metatarsal is often utilized to reduce the diastasis and aid healing of Lisfranc injuries. Also procedures such as a midfoot or a Lapidus arthrodesis require adequate implant-bone purchase in the medial cuneiform. The medial cuneiform contains cancellous bone of varying density. Knowledge of dens...
