Tarsometatarsal Joint Dislocation

The tarsometatarsal joint is formed by the external palette of the foot or the spatula which consists of 4 external metatarsal and internal metatarsal columns formed by 1st metatarsal and 1st cuneiform.

Dorsal dislocation can occur with plantar hyperflexion associated with supination or pronation of the forefoot.

Plantar dislocation can occur from a direct impact, such as falling of a weight on the back of the foot.
