Fractures of the midfoot.
The incidence of midfoot fractures is probably higher than realized. Recognition of these fractures is enhanced by a high index of suspicion and diagnostic tests such as bone scans, tomograms, and CT scans. Treatment is mostly nonoperative. At times, closed reduction and percutaneous pinning, open reduction internal fixation, excision of fracture fragments, or primary fusion is indicated.
