Ankle Joint

Ankle Joint

The ankle is formed by the talocrural joint (crural = leg). It consists of the articulations between the talus bone of the foot and the distal ends of the tibia and fibula of the leg. The superior aspect of the talus bone is square-shaped and has three areas of articulation. The top of the talus articulates with the inferior tibia. This is the portion of the ankle joint that carries the body weight between the leg and foot. The sides of the talus are firmly held in position by the articulations...

Fractures: Bone Repair

Fractures: Bone Repair

Treatment for a fracture is based on the type of break, the bone affected, and the patient's age.
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the procedure...

Area of Science:

Orthopedic surgery
Podiatric medicine
Traumatology

Background:

Complete navicular dislocation is an uncommon injury.
Open dislocations are exceedingly rare, presenting significant clinical challenges.

Observation:

An 85-year-old female patient presented with a complete open dislocation of the navicular bone.
The injury involved significant displacement and soft tissue compromise.

Findings:

The patient underwent successful surgical management via open reduction.
Arthrodesis of the naviculocuneiform and calcaneocuboid joints was performed to stabilize the foot.
At two-year follow-up, the patient was asymptomatic with restored foot function.

Implications:

This case highlights the efficacy of surgical intervention for rare foot dislocations.
Open reduction and arthrodesis can provide excellent functional outcomes in elderly patients with severe foot trauma.
Successful management of such injuries is crucial for patient mobility and quality of life.
