Abstract:
:Two cases are reviewed which presented findings strongly suggesting congenital synostosis between the third metatarsal and third cuneiform bones. Supplementary x-ray films proved these joints to be present and intact. This point, though well known to skeletal radiologists, is worthy of emphasis to nonskeletal radiologists and other physicians.
