OSTEOCHONDRITIS OF THE INTERNAL CUNEIFORM
JOSEPH BUCHMAN B.S., M.D., F.A.C.S.1
1 Hospital for Joint Diseases, New York, and the United Israel Zion Hospital, Brooklyn, New York; and the First Orthopaedic Division, Hospital for the Ruptured and Crippled, New York.
This communication deals with two cases presenting three instances of a hitherto undescribed and apparently rare focus of osteochondritic derangement of the internal cuneiform associated with a similar involvement of the tarsal scaphoid. The subsequent history of the first patient revealed a benign course and a reconstitution of the affected bones to a practically normal, though somewhat deformed and undersized state.
