Abstract
A rare foot injury consisting of an irreducible, closed combined distal and proximal articulation dislocation of two adjacent metatarsals (second and third), called a "double floating metatarsal," was encountered in a 29-year-old man. The anatomy, mechanism of injury, and sequence of the surgical procedure are presented and discussed.
