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...

Diabetic Foot Ulcer

Diabetic Foot Ulcer

Definition A diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is a chronic, non-healing wound that develops in individuals with diabetes. It typically occurs on pressure-bearing areas such as the heel, metatarsal heads, or hallux, and carries a high risk of infection and amputation.Pathophysiology • The development of DFUs can be explained by four interconnected mechanisms: neuropathy, ischemia, infection, and impaired wound healing. • Neuropathy is the most common factor. Sensory neuropathy reduces pain perception,...

Area of Science:

Orthopedic Surgery
Trauma Surgery
Foot and Ankle Injuries

Background:

Concomitant dislocations of the tarsometatarsal (TMT) and metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joints are exceptionally rare.
Previous reports have documented these injuries in single or adjacent dual foot rays.

Observation:

This case report details a unique instance of TMT and MTP joint dislocation affecting three adjacent metatarsals.
The injury occurred in a patient with multiple traumatic injuries (polytrauma).

Findings:

Such complex foot injuries may be easily overlooked during the initial assessment of polytrauma patients.
Delayed diagnosis can lead to severe consequences for the patient's foot function and long-term health.

Implications:

This case highlights the importance of recognizing rare foot injuries in polytrauma settings.
Understanding the mechanism, reduction sequence, and follow-up for these injuries can aid trauma surgeons in effective management.
