Midfoot fractures.

Fractures of the midfoot are uncommon because of the constrained configuration of multiple articular surfaces, which is augmented by capsular attachments and strong ligaments and tendons. Injury patterns usually involve more than one structure, although isolated fractures, dislocations, and sprains can occur. The key to optimal treatment of midfoot fractures is a high index of clinical suspicion because of their rareness. The traumatic midfoot injuries described in this article are categorized as Chopart joint injuries, tarsal scaphoid fractures, cuboid fractures, cuneiform fractures, and Lisfranc joint injuries.
