title: [Fractures and luxations of the mid- and forefoot].
abstract: These injuries are rare. Additional soft tissue lesions and multiple traumatic disorders of the foot are common, due to crush and traffic injuries. Surgery is needed for the reconstruction of the arch of the foot, its joints and soft tissue. The traumatic lesion of the soft tissue requires meticulous debridement, an exact reduction and osteosynthesis and primary wound closely by means of a synthetic material like Epigard. Providing reduction is adequate, it should be stabilised with percutaneous Kirschner wires.
