Abstract
The authors report on 2 patients who sustained naviculocuneiform dislocations and intercuneiform diastasis, and who were treated with immediate arthrodesis of the midfoot complex. Injury patterns in both cases involved damage to the medial facet of the distal navicular articular surface, separation of the first and second cuneiforms, and an unstable first ray. At the 15- and 18-month follow-up, respectively, both patients attained a stable, solid fusion with maintenance of the medial longitudinal architecture. Both patients returned to their preinjury activity levels with no disability.
