[Ligament rupture of the lateral Chopart joint].
Rupture of the dorsal calcaneo-cuboid ligament has to be expected in about five per cent of all cases of supination trauma in the ankle joint and foot. The injury can be safely verified by standardised holden radiographs, with the other side involved for comparison. Surgical treatment does not appear to be necessary. Four-week immobilisation by cast was found to be sufficient for elimination of complaints and restoration of adequate functionality.
