Foot naviculer bone dislocation: a case report and brief literature review

Abstract

Isolated closed foot navicular bone dislocation is very rare in the emergency orthopedic trauma practice and reported as a case report in the literature. It is stated that it is generally caused as a result of traffic accident by a pronation-abduction mechanism. Since closed reduction is not successful, it is treated with open reduction and internal fixation. In this paper, a 28-year-old patient with a psychiatric problem was presented with the emergence of foot navicular dislocation. The injury mechanism of the case, treatment and complications arising in follow-up are discussed, and the related literature was reviewed.
