High energy trans-cuboid Chopart dislocation: From closed reduction to secondary double arthrodesis

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Case report: Chopart joint fracture-dislocations are rare injuries. The purpose of this report is to present the management of a high energy trans-cuboid Chopart dislocation. This fracture-dislocation dislocation was treated with closed reduction, provisional fixation, and definitively with a combination of open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) and a lateral column external fixator. Due to persistent pain and Chopart joint collapse, the patient ultimately required a double arthrodesis. Conclusion: While rare, Chopart joint fracture-dislocations are impactful injuries that require prompt diagnosis and specialized management. The description of this high energy trans-cuboid Chopart dislocation and the stepwise approach for its management may be useful for other surgeons who encounter similar injuries.
