A rare cause of foot pain in an adolescent due to os paracuneiforme: a case report and review of the literature

Yusuf Alper Kati et al. Skeletal Radiol. 2021 May.

Abstract

Os paracuneiforme is an extremely rare accessory ossicle located at the medial aspect of the medial cuneiform bone. Although foot pain secondary to accessory ossicles is well known, symptomatic os paracuneiforme that requires surgical excision is rarely reported in the current literature. Herein, a 12-year-old boy with symptomatic os paracuneiforme is presented, and its clinical and imaging findings as well as the treatment are discussed.

Keywords: Accessory ossicle; Imaging; Os paracuneiforme; Prehallux.
