【 摘 要 】

Category:TraumaIntroduction/Purpose:The navicular plays a vital role in maintenance of the medial column of the foot and provides a pivotal function in hind foot biomechanics. Type 2 fractures demonstrate a primary fracture line from dorsolateral to plantar medial where the major fracture fragment is displaced medially. They are typically the result of high energy and are associated with poor outcome. This study reports on the demographics of a series of Type 2 navicular fractures, the operative technique employed and the subsequent outcome.Methods:Six patients with a Type 2 navicular fracture were identified from the theatre records. The study period was June 2014 to February 2016. All patients sustained their injuries in either high speed MVAs or motocross accidents.All patients had surgery performed after the soft tissue envelope had settled (mean 7 days after injury). The key component to the surgical procedure was the reduction of the constant large medial fragment. This allowed simple access to the ...
