ABSTRACT

Altogether calcaneal-cuboid and talus-navicular joints are called the Chopart's joint, in honor of Francois Chopart who performed amputations in this part of the foot. Both joints have different but important roles for the correct function of the foot. A pure Chopart joint dislocation is rare and is generally associated with high-energy injuries resulting in medial, lateral, dorsal, or ventral displacement. For the management of these injuries, closed or open reductions followed by screw fixation, Kirschner wires colocation or arthrodesis of Chopart joint have been described. We present the case of a 54-year-old male who presented with a pure Chopart's joint dislocation, which was managed surgically by open reduction and external fixation with the placement of Kirschner wires through the Chopart joint.
