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

G.V. Viegas

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. Contemporary management of these injuries includes early diagnosis with open reduction and internal fixation of unstable subluxations or dislocations. Cast immobilization is indicated in virtually all cases. Recurrent dislocations typically require arthrodesis given significant degenerative arthropathy.
