Isolated dislocation of the tarsal navicular: a case report.
Isolated dislocation of the tarsal navicular is a rare injury that is not mentioned in standard orthopedic textbooks and described only once in the English literature. Because of the rarity of this condition, the best means of treatment has not been established. A patient with this unusual dislocation was recently diagnosed and treated. Open reduction was eventually required, which was followed by the development of ischemic necrosis of the navicular.
