Cuboid-navicular coalition, a type of tarsal coalition, is extremely rare with less than 10 reported cases to date. Most prevailing theories reported have described this specific type of coalition as asymptomatic except at specific moments of stress and exercise. The ...

We show that for all integers m > 4 there exists a 2m × 2m ×m latin cuboid that cannot be completed to a 2m × 2m × 2m latin cube. We also show that for all even m / ∈ {2, 6} there exists a (2m−1) × (2m−1) × (m−1) latin cuboid that cannot be extended to any (2m−1)× (2m−1)×m latin cuboid.

CASE REPORT We report the case of 14-year-old boy who presented with a lytic lesion in the cuboid bone. It was preceded by a...

In this paper we seek to detect rectangular cuboids and localize their corners in uncalibrated single-view images depicting everyday scenes. In contrast to recent approaches that rely on detecting vanishing points of the scene and grouping line segments to form cuboids, we build a discriminative parts-based detector that models the appearance of the cuboid corners and internal edges while enfor...

Complete cuboid dislocation without fracture are rare injuries and there is a paucity of literature describing their management. Previous studies have reported on the use closed reduction casting, internal fixation, Kirschner wire fixation in treatment such injuries. This case report presents successful management complete healthy 42-year-old man following motorcycle accident. The was reduced s...
