TY - JOUR PY - 2019// TI - Tarsal navicular fracture in a parkour practitioner, a rare injury - case report and literature review JO - Revista brasileira de ortopedia (Sao Paulo) A1 - Karmali, Samir A1 - Ramos, Jorge Teixeira A1 - Almeida, João A1 - Barros, André A1 - Campos, Pedro A1 - Costa, Daniel Sá da SP - 739 EP - 745 VL - 54 IS - 6 N2 - Tarsal navicular fractures, as well as other midfoot injuries, are rare, and can result in severe impairment if not properly treated. Parkour, a modern sport, is gaining popularity among young individuals in urban areas, and is prone to result in high-energy trauma, which is scarcely described in the literature. The following is a report of a rare case of tarsal navicular fracture in a 17-year-old male, sustained during parkour practice, which was treated successfully with open reduction and internal fixation. The description of the case emphasizes the challenges of its approach; the discussion highlights the treatment options and goals. The case should also raise awareness about the increasing occurrence of these uncommon lesions.
