ASTRAGALO-SCAPHOID DISLOCATIONS OF THE FOOT

Report of Five Cases from the Orthopedic Service, Iowa State University College of Medicine

ARCH F. O'DONOGHUE M. D.

1. Scapho-astragaloid dislocations usually take place when the foot is supinated and plantar-flexed.

2. A palpable caput tali and a prominent scaphoid with a depression proximal to it is the most important physical sign of dislocation in the scapho-astragaloid joint.

3. Open operation is usually indicated in order to hold a satisfactory reduction.

4. Resection of the head of the astragalus is often necessary in cases of more than two weeks standing.
