Abstract:
The midtarsal joint which consists of the talonavicular and calcaneocuboid joints lies transversely across the medial and lateral arches of the foot. Complete dislocation of this joint unassociated with fracture is extremely rare. A 36 year-old male who was injured by motor vehicle accident came to help for his left midfoot pain and deformity. We misdiagnosed as subtalar dislocation. Closed reduction was performed. We reviewed initial and post-reduction X-rays, and then we diagnosed as Chopart's dislocation. CT scan was taken; it showed fracture of the anterior process of the calcaneous.
