Abstract
|
|
|
|
The os intermetatarseum is a relatively uncommon bony anomaly of the foot. It is usually found between the bases of the first and second metatarsal bones and ossifies during adolescence. It is most commonly seen in radiographs as a separated ossicle, but it may arise as a spur from the base of the first or second metatarsal bone or from the medial cuneiform bone. It sometimes articulates with the base of the first or second metatarsal bone. We treated a painfull os intermetatarseum by excision, and had a good result after 13months follow-up.
