Combined Naviculocuneiform and Calcaneocuboid Dislocation After Low-Energy Blunt Trauma: A Case Report

We present a case of a unique midfoot injury pattern including dislocations of the calcaneocuboid and naviculocuneiform joints with associated calcaneus and navicular fractures after low-energy injury. This combination of injuries is rare, especially with a low-energy mechanism. There are no current treatment guidelines. In this case, the patient was treated with open reduction and internal fixation of the navicular fracture, along with bridge plating of the calcaneocuboid joint, which was subsequently removed nine weeks post-operatively with good functional outcomes.

Abstract

We present a case of a unique midfoot injury pattern including dislocations of the calcaneocuboid and naviculocuneiform joints with associated calcaneus and navicular fractures after low-energy injury. This combination of injuries is rare, especially with a low-energy mechanism. There are no current treatment guidelines. In this case, the patient was treated with open reduction and internal fixation of the navicular fracture, along with bridge plating of the calcaneocuboid joint, which was subsequently removed nine weeks post-operatively with good functional outcomes.
