Case:
A 19-year-old woman sustained a plantar flexion-inversion injury to her right ankle after a low-speed motor vehicle collision. Clinical examination demonstrated supinated, adducted deformity of the foot, and prominent calcaneus laterally. Radiographs revealed dislocation of the calcaneocuboid joint, a rare injury, which was successfully stabilized by a novel technique using a hamstring allograft. The presentations and clinical and surgical management of this rare condition are discussed.
Conclusion:
We present a technique that has shown good long-term results in a young patient with recurrent calcaneocuboid joint dislocations. Our novel ligament reconstruction technique using a semitendinosus allograft seems to be a promising treatment option in young patients with unstable calcaneocuboid joints.
