The authors report on 2 patients who sustained naviculocuneiform dislocations and intercuneiform diastasis, and who were treated with immediate arthrodesis of the midfoot complex. Injury patterns in both cases involved damage to the medial facet of the distal navicular articular surface, separation of the first and second cuneiforms, and an unstable first ray. At the 15- and 18-month follow-up, respectively, both patients attained a stable, solid fusion with maintenance of the medial longitudinal architecture. Both patients returned to their preinjury activity levels with no disability.

Chronic injuries at the tarsometatarsal joint represent a wide array of painful malunions ranging from isolated instability to complex three-dimensional deformities with rapid development of posttraumatic arthritis. Deformity correction and arthrodesis of the symptomatic joints leads to significant pain reduction and functional improvement provided that realignment of the anatomic axes is achieved. Arthrodesis should be limited to the first to third tarsometatarsal joints, whereas interposition arthroplasty is preferred for symptomatic arthritis of the fourth to fifth tarsometatarsal joints.

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.

Open dislocations of the midfoot and subtalar joints are extremely rare injuries. Understanding the anatomy of these joints and the various injury patterns is imperative to obtain stable concentric reduction and provide good functional outcome. We present a report of a 26- year old male who was involved in a road traffic accident and sustained open dislocations of the calcaneocuboid, naviculocuneiform and subtalar joints.
