Abstract
The midtarsal joint’s dislocation (Chopart) are uncommon. Dorsal displacement is certainly more uncommon. Osteochondral fractures are frequently associated with these dislocations as has been described in the literature. To the best of our knowledge, the plantarflexion of the forefoot on the dorsiflexed hindfoot with the ankle in a neutral position is behind of dorsal midtarsal dislocation. In this article, we report a rare case of Chopart’s dorsal dislocation, with open calcaneal and talus fractures, ruptured tendon. We discuss the dislocation’s mechanisms and its treatment. An open reduction was realized with fixation Kirchners wires (K-wires). Moreover, repair of ligamentous structures and immobilization with plaster cast boot.
