Introduction.
Cubonavicular coalitions represent a relatively rare condition with less than forty cases described in the literature, the majority of which are fibrocartilaginous.
To our knowledge, cubonavicular osseous coalition associated with osteoarthritis of the midfoot has never been described.
Case Presentation.
We present the case of a 26-year-old man with bilateral Achilles tendinosis, in whom radiological studies show an incidental finding of a complete osseous cubonavicular coalition, as well as a partial osseous cubo-third cuneiform coalition and a fibrous band between the first and second cuneiforms of the right foot, associated with arthritic changes of the tarsometatarsal joint.
A nonosseous calcaneocubonavicular coalition was found on the left foot.
These multiples coalitions were asymptomatic in this case.
Discussion.
Cubonavicular coalition, even asymptomatic, can cause midfoot osteoarthritis in young patients.
We may therefore suspect that the immobility of the cubonavicular joint causes additional stress on the midfoot.
