Experience of the Tarsometatarsal Fracture-Dislocation / 대한정형외과학회잡지

ABSTRACT

Injury of the tarsometatarsal joints is known to be very uncommon. Injury was most frequently seen as the result of high energy trauma and appear to be occuring more frequently. Early recognition was imperative, since significant long-term disability can result from inadequate treatment. We have reviewed and clinically anafysed 14 cases of tarsometatarsal Fracture-Dislocation treated at our clinic during the period frrqn March 1980 to March 1985. The following result were obtained. 1. Majority of cause of injury was traffic accidents in 10 cases(71%). 2. According to the Wilsons classification, First stage of supination was most common. 3. Associated injuried was 92%. 4. There was no significant difference between operative treatment and conservative treatment.
