Summary

Two cases of bilateral coalition between the navicular and the cuneiform bones are reported. One patient had coalition between the navicular and the first and third cuneiform with degenerative changes in the tarsus. The other patient had coalition between the navicular and the first cuneiform, but no radiographic evidence of osteoarthritis.

The possible pathogenesis of the changes in the feet is discussed, and Köhler's disease of the navicular is suggested as the primary cause.

Résumé

Présentation de deux cas de synostose cunéoscaphoïdienne. L'un des malades avait une synostose entre le scaphoïde et les 1er et 3ème cunéiformes, s'accompagnant de lésions dégénératives au niveau du tarse. L'autre présentait une fusion du scaphoïde et du 1er cunéiforme, sans signe radiologique d'arthrose.

Les auteurs discutent la pathogénie des altérations arthrosiques du pied et soulèvent l'hypothèse que la maladie de Köhler du scaphoïde tarsien puisse en être la cause première.
