Dislocation of the lateral cuneiform. Report of two cases: one with dorsal and one with plantar displacement.
We present two cases of lateral cuneiform dislocation, one dorsal and one plantar. Both were the result of high-energy trauma, accompanied by other injuries and were missed at initial examination. Open reduction and fixation with Steinmann pins were necessary. The midterm results were satisfactory, although the cuneiform that dislocated plantarly ended up in developed avascular necrosis.
