Nutcracker fractures of the cuboid are rare and often missed at an initial visit. They can be difficult to manage and convey a high risk of long-term pain in the foot. During the last six years, 6 recent cuboid fractures in 6 patients were treated at our hospital by open reduction, allogeneic bone grafting (where necessary) and internal fixation. Shortening of the lateral column of the foot exi...

this report presents a 3.5-year-old boy who was hospitalized for limping. medical history and physical exams were not suggestive for any definitive diagnosis. laboratory and radiographic exams did not support any specific diagnosis either. subsequently bone scan was performed and increased activity in the ankle due to cuboid fracture was incidentally observed.

Near infrared absorption (NIR) spectra of natural morphologically cubic polycrystalline diamonds (cuboid) were obtained at room temperature, and the stretching plus bending combination band of molecular water was observed. The spectrum consisted of the main band at 5180 cm 1 due to liquid water and a shoulder at 5000 cm . The 5000 cm 1 band suggests the presence of a phase with stronger hydroge...

Optimal path planning problems for rigid and deformable (bendable) cuboid robots are considered by providing an analytic safety constraint using generalized Lp norms. For regular cuboid robots, level sets of weighted Lp norms generate implicit approximations of their surfaces. For bendable cuboid robots a weighted Lp norm in polar coordinates implicitly approximates the surface boundary through...

Aneurysmal bone cysts (ABC) are rare and they represent 1- 1.4 % of all primary bone tumors. ABC of cuboid bone are extremely rare, especially in children. Very few cases have been reported in the literature since 1967. We present a case of pathological fracture of cuboid bone due to an aneurysmal cyst in a 10-year-old girl. Surgery was performed, which included open biopsy with aspiration and ...

Isolated cuboid fractures are very rare, since they typically occur in combination with midfoot fractures or dislocations. A 61-year-old man presented at our hospital with pain and swelling on the outside of his right foot. The lateral column of his right foot was shortened by approximately 6.5 mm on X-ray. CT showed displacement of the joint surface between the cuboid and the fourth metatarsal...

Most peroneal tendon ruptures are the result of an inversion ankle sprain. Usually tears of the peroneal tendons are partial ruptures called longitudinal tears. Partial and complete rupture of peroneus longus tendon do occur but are far less common than injuries seen in peroneus brevis. The weakest point of peroneus longus tendon is the point where it changes direction and rounds the plantar su...

Continuum-Shape Constraint Analysis (CSCA) is a shape analysis approach applicable to pose estimation tasks in computer vision. A variety of useful measures (indices) which predict the accuracy of pose estimation can be derived from CSCA. Conceived for computer-vision assisted spacecraft rendezvous analysis, the approach was developed for blanket or localized scanning by LIDAR or similar range-...
