[The surgical treatment of tarsometatarsal dislocations]

Based on their own experience and literature, the authors review the etiopathogenic, anatomo-clinical, diagnostic and management aspects of torso-metatarsal dislocations. The surgical treatment by open reduction or reposition-arthrodesis, as a first or secondary step, using Kirschner wire and staples, are more and more used. The early and late complications, which may aggravate the long-term functional prognosis are detailed.
