Abstract

We describe a previously unreported form of a talonavicular dislocation complicated by navicular, talar neck and open calcaneal fractures.

Prompt recognition and rapid reduction of fractures and dislocations gives the best possible outcome. The presence of serious distracting injuries can alter priorities, however the “lesser” injuries often lead to long term morbidity after recovery from the life-threatening injuries.
