Abstract:
Dislocations and fracture dislocations of the tarsometatarsal joint are usually the result of a high energy trauma to the forefoot. A missed diagnosis or an insufficient treatment or a massive destruction of the tarsometatarsal joint result in a high rate of late morbidity. An appropriate radiological assessment, open anatomical reduction and temporary K-wire arthrodesis followed by a functional after-treatment can improve the long-term results of this severe forefoot injuries. The long term results (7 months to 20 years) of 24 tarsometatarsal injuries are analysed and a concept of their treatment presented.
