Abstract EN
Isolated medial cuneiform fractures are quite rare.
Conservative treatment is adequate in most cases, while deplaced or unstable fractures are treated surgically.
Nonunion is seen extremely rarely after medial cuneiform fractures.
There is only one case report in the literature.
This case presented here is a 62-year-old male patient who had an isolated medial cuneiform fracture resulting from the impact of a falling metal object.
Conservative treatment was performed initially.
The patient was diagnosed as nonunion after physical and radiological examinations nine months after he presented to the outpatient clinic.
Internal fixation with a mini plate and one staple after reduction was performed surgically.
Defective region was filled with a 2 mL of autograft, and the operation was terminated.
