J Foot Ankle Surg. 2008 Jan-Feb;47(1):60-2. doi: 10.1053/j.jfas.2007.10.004.

Abstract

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.
