Journal Title: Journal of Bone and Joint Diseases - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 0
Abstract
Closed dislocation of navicular without fracture is a very rare injury and very few cases have been reported till now. It has been claimed that navicular dislocation without fracture is an anatomical impossibility. We are reporting a case of this uncommon dislocation with associated fracture shaft of tibia with fracture anterior lip of calcaneum. The patient was treated with open reduction and K wire fixation for navicular dislocation and interlocking nail for tibial fracture. At six month of follow up the tibial shaft fracture had united and patient was able to walk without support with slight pain on the dorsal aspect of foot. Movements at ankle joint were comparable to the other side. To our knowledge no such case of closed isolated navicular dislocation and associated tibial shaft fracture has been reported in the literature.
