[Therapy of a gunshot fracture to the midfoot].

We report on a soldier with a gunshot wound to the midfoot. The diaphysis of MT 5 was pounded to pieces and there was a fracture in the diaphysis of MT 4. After debridement and fixation of MT 4 and MT 5 to MT 2 and 3 via two Kirschner wires we conducted a second look procedure with reconstruction of MT 5 via a piece of iliac crest. After eight weeks of unloading and removal of the last wire we started to put successively heavier weight on the foot.
