Injuries of the midfoot are rare and they usually occur as a result of high-energy trauma. The navicular and cuboid, bones that belong to the midfoot, are fundamental structures in stabilizing the medial and lateral columns of the foot respectively, so they require an adequate treatment. We present a 26-year-old man with a complete tarsal navicular bone dislocation without associated navicular fracture, and a complete cuboid dislocation after sustaining a 4 meters fall, it was also accompanied by fracture of the lateral cuneiform and the base of the fourth metatarsal. The patient was treated successfully with open reduction and fixation with screw and Kirschner wires. At 18 months follow-up, we considered the patient’s outcome was good obtaining 90 (90/100) points in American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society Midfoot Score. Copyright
