Due to the large portion of ligaments and their anatomical structure, isolated dislocation of the tarsal navicular is a lesion with very low incidence, associated with navicular or other mid tarsal fractures. The strategic location of the bone in the upper portion of the mid tarsal infers great importance in controlling body weight during ambulation. The navicular is a flat bone, concave, ship-shaped localized between the head of the talus and the three cuneiform, and is rigidly stabilized by a large network of plantar and dorsal ligaments. Isolated dislocation of the tarsal navicular, Chondrolysis, Arthrodesis It concluded that the isolated navicular dislocation, even though promptly and adequately reduced and stabilized, may develop complications, such as chondrolysis, and the correct handling by selective arthrodesis enables a satisfactory functional and clinical outcome. Having passed 13 years of post-surgery, the patient presents a good clinical evolution and articulation functionality. After initial k-wire fixation, the patient presented herself 6 weeks later with chondrolysis of the tarsus articulations and submitted to selective arthrodesis of talus navicular and cuneiform medial-talus-navicular (TN + CTN).

The authors present a case of a woman, 39-years-old, who suffered a complete dislocation of the talus-navicular of her left foot, due to a fall. Few cases of an isolated dislocation of the navicular reported in medical literature, and there is little information about complications how the patients evolve after years of postoperative. The mechanism of this specific trauma is still not well to understood, due to the strength needed in different ways and directions for its occurrence, in a complex way. Isolated dislocation of the tarsal navicular bone is a rare lesion.
