Open fracture dislocation of the calcaneocuboid and naviculocuneiform joints: A case report

Meshal A Alhadhoud et al. Trauma Case Rep. .

Abstract

Combined fracture and dislocation of the calcaneocuboid (CC) and naviculocuneiform (NC) joints is a very rare injury; therefore, it is under-reported. We present a case of rare open fracture and dislocation of the CC and NC joints by discussing the diagnosis, evaluation, management and prognosis.

Keywords: Calcaneocuboid; Dislocation; Fracture; Mid-foot; Naviculocuneiform.
