Abstract and keywords

Tarsal cuneiform dislocation in association with Lisfranc fracture-dislocation is a rare pedal injury. In this report, we describe the case of a patient who sustained a dorsal dislocation of the intermediate cuneiform in association with tarsometatarsal fracture-dislocation following traumatic axial loading and torsion of his foot. A satisfactory outcome was achieved by treating the injury by means of closed reduction and percutaneous Kirschner wire fixation.

ACFAS Level of Clinical Evidence: 4.

Keywords: Lisfranc joint; cuneiform; dislocation
