Abstract and keywords

We present a case of an isolated dorsal dislocation of the lateral cuneiform bone. This particular injury is extremely rare and quite often escapes the initial assessment of the medical examiner. Timely and accurate diagnosis of the injury is very important as the treatment is usually surgical.

Levels of Evidence: Therapeutic Level IV, Case Report

Keywords: lateral cuneiform; dorsal dislocation; tarsometatarsal joint injury
