Fracturas y luxaciones de Chopart: nuestro algoritmo de tratamiento

Abstract

Chopart fractures and dislocations: our treatment algorithm Introduction: injuries affecting the Chopart complex have a low incidence and are misdiagnosed in many cases, which carries important sequelae in patients who suffer from them. In spite of it, it is not possible to find a validated treatment algorithm in literature. We present a case report and the diagnostic and treatment algorithm followed in our hospital. Material and methods: observational study of 53 cases of Chopart fractures surgically intervened in our hospital be-tween 2010 and 2020. Results: in 80% of cases, the fracture was due to high energy mechanisms, associating in 75% of cases concomitant fractures in the same foot. 45% of fractures were stabilized through an external fixation device, which was kept as definitive treatment in 75% of patients. It was used in 40% of them as only treatment,
