Maffucci's syndrome. Review of the literature and case report

Maffucci's syndrome, a rarely occurring congenital disorder, may present early in life as either a pathologic fracture, an incidental radiographic finding, or primarily as multiple hemangiomas. Patients endure years of orthopedic complications, and are faced with a grim prognosis, with the majority developing either skeletal or extra-skeletal malignancies by the end of their fourth decade.

A Minor

The diagnosis of a congenital talonavicular coalition is one that often may be little more than an incidental radiographic finding. However, the acute onset of vague midfoot symptomatology secondary to a minor traumatic event may reveal this rarely reported condition on further clinical examination. The authors present a description of the characteristic historical and clinical features of talonavicular coalitions, current diagnostic and treatment modalities available, and a case presentation of an acute painful talonavicular synostosis in an adolescent male athlete.

Energy Impact

This is a case report of a 4-year-old girl who sustained a femoral shaft fracture 2 weeks after radiofrequency ablation of an osteoid osteoma. The fracture occurred after a relatively low-energy impact, jumping off the second to last step of a staircase. The pathologic fracture was successfully treated with closed reduction and spica casting, with full return to activities. Cases have been reported in the literature of femoral shaft fractures in older patients after radiofrequency ablation, but all are farther out than 2 weeks and none in patients as young as 4 years.

Rare Anomaly

Talonavicular coalition is a rare entity and is often discovered as a secondary radiographic finding. Today, orthoses are as varied as the patients for whom they are prescribed; however, in cases of symptomatic talonavicular fusion, the use of a shallow U-shaped dispersion within the high medial flange of an orthosis can prove beneficial to the pediatric patient. This article encourages podiatric physicians to return to utilizing basic diagnostic tools (gait analysis, biomechanical examination, and radiographs) to detect and treat talonavicular coalition, a significant but rare anomaly of the foot.
