Midtarsal joint dislocations: acute and chronic management with review of the literature and case presentation

Crystal Lake, Illinois, U.S.A.

Abstract 

Mid-tarsal joint injuries are relatively uncommon. Occult fractures do exist and are best diagnosed via computed tomography (CT) analysis of the injured foot.
