Isolated traumatic cuboid dislocation is a rare injury of which ten cases has been only reported. The reported case in this article is a 12-year old boy who had felt from height and his cuboid bone was dislocated due to severe inversion and plantarflexion injury to the foot. There was not anyother fracturedislocation in his extremity. Closed reduction was unsuccessful therefore the bone was red...

Peritalar dislocations are caused by a simultaneous dislocation of the talonavicular and talocalcaneal joints. They are infrequent injuries due to the inherent stability of the talus, representing 1% of total dislocations [1,2]. They occur more frequently in middleaged adult male patients and, in most cases, they are associated with fractures of the malleoli or other bones of the foot, being ex...

Background: The aim of this study was to assess differences in fracture morphology and displacement betweenisolated greater tuberosity (GT) fractures (i.e. fractures of the greater tuberosity without other fractures of the proximalhumerus) with and without shoulder dislocation utilizing quantitative 3-dimensional CT imaging.Methods: Thirty-four CT-scans of isolated greater tuberosity fractures ...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of our study was to assess MDCT findings and the advantages of MDCT compared with radiography in patients referred to a level 1 trauma center for diagnostic evaluation of acute ankle and foot trauma. MATERIALS AND METHODS During a period of 37 months, 388 patients underwent MDCT of the ankle and foot due to an acute trauma. Imaging studies (MDCT and radiography) were ret...

A 26-year-old male presented to the emergency department for right foot pain and deformity after inverting his foot while base running playing baseball. Examination revealed a medial deformity of the right foot (Figure 1). The foot was neurovascularly intact without wounds. Radiographs of the ankle demonstrated a medial subtalar dislocation (Figure 2). The dislocation was reduced using procedur...

conclusions although spinopelvic fracture dislocation injuries are severe high-energy entities, in cases with traumatic spondylolytic spondylolisthesis due to widening of the vertebral canal, neurologic deficit may not be seen at all. case presentation we described a 16-year-old girl with extremely severe axial trauma to the lumbosacral spine who presented with fracture dislocation of the lumbo...

BACKGROUND Fractures of the talus are uncommon injuries that usually involve the talar neck, rather than the talar body. This report is of a rare case of combined left talar neck fracture and adjacent joint dislocation with an ipsilateral bimalleolar ankle fracture. CASE REPORT A 37-year-old man presented with an injury to his left foot following a motor vehicle accident. When he presented to t...

Twenty patients with a subtalar dislocation of the foot are reported in this series. Thirteen cases had medial subtalar dislocation, 4 lateral, 2 posterior and 1 anterior. Open dislocation occurred in 2 cases. Manual reduction was successful in 16 cases and surgical reduction was necessary in 4. A short leg cast was applied for 36 weeks. There were no cases of aseptic necrosis of the talus. Exc...

Flake fractures of the talus are uncommon injuries, usually associated with marked inversion or eversion of’ the foot and ankle, coupled with tearing of the medial [internal laterals or the lateral [fibuiar collateral] ligament or of both ligaments. \Vatson-Jones (1943), relating ninety-seven cases of fracture and fracture-dislocation of the talus and navicular hone in the Royal Air Force in tw...
