  • Title: Isolated tarsal navicular fracture dislocation: a case report.
    Author: Mathesul AA, Sonawane DV, Chouhan VK.
    Journal: Foot Ankle Spec; 2012 Jun; 5(3):185-7. PubMed ID: 22441500.
    Abstract:
    UNLABELLED: Injuries to the midtarsal joints are rare. They occur in the form of various combinations such as fracture, fracture subluxation, and fracture dislocation. The largest series of 71 cases has been reported by Main and Jowett in 1975. Isolated tarsal navicular dislocations are rare injuries. Being rare, these injuries remain poorly understood. Only few case reports exist, which describe the probable mechanism of injury and optimal treatment. Of the few case reports, only one describes closed reduction with external fixator and percutaneous fixation as the treatment modality. This case report emphasizes the use of external fixation with pins in the calcaneum and not in talus as described by the earlier report. LEVELS OF EVIDENCE: Therapeutic, Level IV.
