Abstract

MASQUIJO, J.J.. Sinostosis cuneo-metatarsiana bilateral: presentación de un caso. Rev. argent. radiol. [online]. 2013, vol.77, n.4. ISSN 1852-9992.

Tarsal coalitions are fi brous, cartilaginous or bony unions between two or more tarsal bones that change the biomechanics of the foot and can cause pain. We report the case of a pediatric patient with bilateral metatarsalgia, who was diagnosed with a complete osseous coalition between the second metatarsal base and the second cuneiform. There are few reports in the literature. Cuneo-metatarsal synostosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of metatarsalgia in children.
