Transcuneiform fracture--cuboid dislocation of the midfoot.

ABSTRACT

Complete dislocation of the tarsal cuboid is presented along with regional anatomic considerations. Thorough literature search revealed only three other reported cases of dislocation of the tarsal cuboid. The operative procedure described encompasses an interesting method of reduction of this dislocation. It should be emphasized that A-P, lateral, and oblique X-rays should be obtained for injuries of the mid and forefoot. The rarity of such a dislocation is attributed to the structural integrity of the supporting ligamentous elements.
