Abstract:
Objective To study radiographic classification of tarsometatarsal joint dislocation and postoperative imaging evaluation.Methods 74 patients with tarsometatarsal joint dislocation were included in this study.Tarsometatarsal joint dislocations were classified by the Myerson fracture displacements classification.All patients were evaluated according to the American Orthopedics Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS)clinical rating systems.Results There were 19 patients with Myerson A,46 patients with Myerson B and 9 patients with Myerson C tarsometatarsal joint dislocation.39 distal tarsal bone fractures and 156 metatarsal fractures,with simultaneous scaphoid fractures in 10 patients were showed.All patients who were followed up and no infection.The AOFAS scale was categorized as excellent,good,fair or poor,and 22 patients were considered as excellent,29 patients as good,17 patients as fair and 6 patients as poor.Postoperative imaging evaluation required anatomical reduction of tarsometatarsal joint.On the anteroanterior radiogragh,the base medial edge of the second metatarsal bone and the medial edge of intermediate cuneiform were combined to form a straight line.The shortest distance between the base of the first metatarsal bone and the second metatarsal bone should be less than 2 mm.On the medial oblique radiogragh,a smooth line connecting the medial edge of the fourth metatarsal bone with the medial edge of cuboid bone always appeared.On the lateral radiogragh,the dorsal edge of the second metatarsal bone and intermediate cuneiform formed a smooth line.The height of metatarsus should not exceed the dorsal edge of corresponding cuneiform.The longitudinal arch angle was restored within normal limits.Conclusion The type-B tarsometatarsal joint dislocation is the most common type and frequently accompanies by multiple fractures.Intraoperative and postoperative multidirectional observation of anatomical reduction of tarsometatarsal joint dislocation can reduce incidence of posttraumatic arthritis.
