A complete dislocation of the calcaneus: a case report.

Isolated dislocation of calcaneus from cuboid and talus is extremely rare. This is a report of a 40-year-old man who sustained an open dislocation of calcaneus from cuboid and talus with subluxation of the talonavicular joint. Immediate reduction and stabilization with Kirschner wires and an external fixator was performed. At 2-year follow-up, there was no evidence of infection or avascular necrosis of tarsal bones. However, osteoarthrosis of the calcaneocuboid joint was evident. The functional result after 2 years was satisfactory. This case illustrates that the diagnosis of concomitant injuries in the adjacent column of the foot and compliance with principles of management of multiple injuries in the midfoot are paramount in reducing morbidity, which is common in such injuries.
