Abstract:
The authors report a special type of Chopart dislocation named as swivel dislocation or tarsal rotation. This injury is characterized by dislocation of the talonavicular joint but the calcaneocuboid joint remains intact.The foot creates a typical rotational movement but it does not evert or invert. The axis of rotation is interosseous talo-calcaneal ligament, which remains intact. In the reported case the medial swivel dislocation is present in combination with fracture-dislocation of the ankle joint with diaphyseal fracture of fibula and segmental fracture of tibia in the same extremity in multiple injury patient. The typical characteristic and method of treatment of this rare injury are presented. Key words: Chopart dislocation, multiple injuries, therapy, consequence.
