Background
- Navicular, cuboid, and cuneiform fractures are all diagnosed/managed in similar way
Clinical Features
- Foot pain
Differential Diagnosis
Foot and Toe Fracture Types
Hindfoot
Midfoot
Forefoot
Evaluation
- Imaging: (weight-bearing AP, lateral, oblique)
- CT sometimes necessary
Management
General Fracture Management
- Acute pain management
- Open fractures require immediate IV antibiotics and urgent surgical washout
- Neurovascular compromise from fracture requires emergent reduction and/or orthopedic intervention
- Consider risk for compartment syndrome
Immobilization
- Non-weight bearing
- Posterior Ankle Splint
- Ortho referral
Disposition
- Outpatient
