Treatment of malunion and nonunion at the Chopart joint aims at axial realignment of the midfoot to the hindfoot and restoration of the normal relationship of the lateral and medial columns of the foot. In carefully selected patients with intact cartilage, joint-preserving osteotomies are feasible at all 4 bony components of the Chopart joint to restore near-normal function. Priority should be given to the anatomic reconstruction of the talonavicular joint because it is essential for global foot function. Patients must be counseled about the risk of progressive arthritis or osteonecrosis necessitating late fusion.

Background: Foot deformities are common in cerebral palsy (CP) and are likely caused by a disturbed interplay of forces in the foot. Evaluation of foot joint moments would therefore be highly relevant. However, kinetic foot models have not previously been applied to children with CP.

Case Report: Chopart joint fracture-dislocations are rare injuries. The purpose of this report is to present the management of a high energy trans-cuboid Chopart dislocation. This fracture-dislocation dislocation was treated with closed reduction, provisional fixation, and definitively with a combination of open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) and a lateral column external fixator.

Seventy-eight parameters are theoretically needed to describe the relative position and orientation of all the 14 bones in the foot and ankle with respect to a reference bone (foot posture). However, articular contacts and soft tissues introduce kinematic coupling, reducing the number of the foot degrees-of-freedom (DOF). This study aims at providing quantification and definition of these couplings.

Nitinol staple use in orthopedic surgery has increased in recent years. Biomechanical studies provide useful data for use in foot/ankle; however, clinical data is limited. This study's purpose is to determine the efficacy of nitinol staples to achieve stable, bony arthrodesis in midfoot and Chopart joints, and examine their clinical outcomes and pain scores.
