Undisplaced fracture of the anterior process of the calcaneum. Small bony avulsion adjacent to the lateral calcaneocuboid joint, likely due to a bony avulsion of the dorsal calcaneocuboid ligament. Bony capsular avulsion of the dorsal talonavicular joint. In combination, findings are due to a Chopart injury/ midfoot sprain.
Case Discussion
A midfoot sprain/Chopart joint injuries can be overlooked as often reporters focus on the ankle joint and metatarsals instead of the central structures. This combination of findings indicates a Chopart joint injury.
