Midterm functional outcome after operative management of XXXX .

@entity1 @entity158 @entity174 @entity130
Background. Injuries of the midfoot are often missed and therefore underestimated. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for the final outcome. The primary aim of this study was to assess the pattern and results of early operative management of mid-foot @entity130 after a midterm follow up. Material and methods. This study was conducted on 25 @entity1 (19 Males, 6 Females ) with mean age of 34.6 years (range 18-60 years) with mid-foot @entity174 who were admitted consecutively at our centre from May 2008 through November 2010. 25 @entity1 fulfilling our inclusion criteria with mid-foot @entity174 were included in this study. Mechanism of injury, its pattern and results of operative management of @entity130 were assessed after acute management of these @entity174 on urgent basis. Evaluation of results was done by AOFAS Score. Results. Most common mode of injury was indirect trauma due to fall (n=12) followed by road traffic accident (n=9). Males (n=19) outnumbered females (n=6). The pattern of @entity130 requiring operative treatment as per our criteria were @entity174 (n=22) and navicular @entity174 (n=3). The mean follow up was 3.2 years and mean AOFAS score at 3.2 years was 78.36, with most @entity1 losing points to @entity158 and decreased recreational function. Conclusion. The @entity174 are the most common @entity130 around midfoot requiring operative treatment, and we believe that operative treatment considerably improves functional outcome in these @entity130 .
