Successful Open Reduction of Post-traumatic Calcaneocuboid Dislocation: A Case Report

Calcaneocuboid dislocation is an exceptionally rare midfoot injury, typically resulting from high-energy trauma and often underdiagnosed due to subtle radiographic findings and the joint's intrinsic stability. We report a case of a 15-year-old male who sustained an isolated calcaneocuboid dislocation following a motorcycle accident. Initial radiographs revealed incongruity of the lateral midfoot without associated fractures. Surgical management involved open reduction and temporary fixation with Kirschner wires to address intra-operative soft tissue interposition and restore joint congruity. Post-operative recovery was favorable, with complete wound healing, maintained reduction, and restoration of functional mobility at follow-up. This case underscores the importance of early recognition, precise imaging, and tailored surgical intervention to preserve lateral column integrity and optimize outcomes in adolescent patients with rare midfoot dislocations.
