  • Title: Fractures of the tarsal bones.
    Author: Pinney SJ, Sangeorzan BJ.
    Journal: Orthop Clin North Am; 2001 Jan; 32(1):21-33. PubMed ID: 11465131.
    Abstract:
    Fractures involving the midtarsal bones are relatively uncommon. The morbidity associated with these injuries can be significant, however. Accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment can help restore midfoot function and decrease the incidence of chronic pain. Treatment should preserve the function of the talonavicular joint, maintain the relative length of the medial and lateral columns, and protect the ligaments and soft tissues until adequate healing has occurred.
