Anatomic Description of the Calcaneocuboid Joint: Implications for Staple Fixation.
Journal of Foot and Ankle Surgery 2023 January 30
Understanding the anatomy of the calcaneocuboid (CCJ) remains essential when selecting staple fixation to optimize osseous purchase during rearfoot procedures. This anatomic study quantitatively describes the CCJ in relation to staple fixation sites. The calcaneus and cuboid from 10 cadavers were dissected. Widths at 5 mm and 10 mm increments away from the joint were measured in dorsal, midline, and plantar thirds of each bone. The widths between each position's 5 mm and 10 mm increments were compared using the Student's t test. The widths among the positions at both distances were compared using an ANOVA then post hoc testing. Statistical significance was set at p ≤ 0.05. The middle (23 ± 3 mm) and plantar third (18 ± 3 mm) of the calcaneus at the 10 mm interval was greater than the 5 mm interval (p = .04). At 5 mm distal to the CCJ, the dorsal third of the cuboid maintained a statistically significant greater width than the plantar third (p = .02). The 5 mm (p = .001) and 10 mm (p = .005) dorsal calcaneus widths as well as the 5 mm (p = .003) and 10 mm (p = .007) middle calcaneus widths were significantly greater than the plantar widths. This investigation supports the use of 20 mm staple 10 mm away from the CCJ in dorsal and midline orientations. Care should be taken when placing a plantar staple within 10 mm proximal to the CCJ as the legs may extend beyond the medial cortex compared to dorsal and midline placements.
