- Discussion:
- usually severe mid-tarsal injury w/ a high incidence of assoc frx;
- these injuries occur w/ foot in varying degrees of plantarflexion, w/
force being applied to metatarsal heads & transmitted proximally
along rays to disrupt
midtarsal joint and frx of
cuboid or
navicular;
- w/ this mechanism, frxs tend to occur vertically thru navicular
in line with the intercuneiform joints;
