A plain radiograph showed discrete areas of calcification around the cuboid and bases of his 4th and 5th metatarsals, with scalloping of the cuboid in keeping with a long standing pressure effect (fig. 1); these features were reported as being consistent with synovial chondromatosis. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) confirmed the diagnosis by revealing multiple foci of low signal intensity surr...

Leading topic of this article is description of Lorentz forces in the container with cuboid and cylindrical shape. Inside of the container is an electrically conductive melt. This melt is driven by rotating magnetic field. Input data for comparing Lorentz forces in the container with cuboid shape were obtained from the computing program NS-FEM3D, which uses DDS method of computing. Values of Lo...

We report eight cases of fracture of the cuboid in seven children under four years of age, collected during a two-year period. There was no history of trauma in five of the patients. This fracture is rarely diagnosed and has probably been under-reported. Small children are poor historians and difficult to examine, and early radiographs may be normal or have only subtle abnormalities. Cuboid fra...

Isolated fractures of the capitate are uncommon. We report a rare case of isolated fracture of the capitate with dorsal dislocation of the proximal pole. After open reduction and K-wire fixation the fracture united, and a full range of wrist motion was achieved. No signs of avascular necrosis were observed after 3 years.
