Lee, Choi, and Suh: Isolated Dorsal Dislocation of Intermediate Cuneiform: A Case Report

Abstract

An isolated dislocation of the intermediate cuneiform bone is a rare midfoot injury. This paper reports a case of a 60 year old man who fell from a height with his foot in the plantar flexed position. An isolated dorsal dislocation of the intermediated cuneiform was confirmed. Good results were obtained after an open reduction and internal fixation with a Lisfranc screw and Kirschner wire.
