Can you fracture a cuneiform bone buy misstepping?

Robin d, Briefly, YES! I shall discuss a possibility - The three (medial, intermediate, and lateral) cuneiforms and their articulations in the foot are small and relatively well protected from injury. An isolated fracture of the lateral cuneiform is a rare finding.

However, isolated injuries may occur as the result of direct trauma. As each of the cuneiform bones articulates with four other bones in the midpart of the foot, persistent displacement of any fracture (subluxation or dislocation) may result in post-traumatic arthritis. There is an injury, with a historic story attached to it, which I shall decline from relating here, called a Lisfranc injury and indicates an injury to the normal alignment of the cuneiforms and metatarsal joints with the loss of their normal spatial relationships.

The most common injury to the Lisfranc joint occurs at the joint involving the 1st and 2nd metatarsals and the medial cuneiform. If the ligaments between the medial and mid cuneiforms are ... more.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
