title: [Investigations of the normal stability of Chopart's joint (author's transl)].
abstract: The stability of the so-called Chopart-joint was evaluated in 50 healthy and asymptomatic patients by x-ray examination under strain. Complete stability was found in 38%. Widening of the lateral joint space up to 4 mm in the remaining patients could be demonstrated. Greater instability must be regarded to be a ruptur of the Lig. calcaneocubiodeum.
