Foot injuries are difficult to treat due to the anatomical complexity of the region and the diagnostic and therapeutic underestimation. Generally, high-energy trauma produced this kind of injuries. We present a 56 year-old, white, male patient, who arrived at the emergency room with multiple traumas resulting from a car accident. The diagnosis was a tarsometatarsal luxo-fracture associated with midtarsal dislocation and subtalar dislocation. He underwent an emergency surgical treatment to closed reduce of the midtarsal and subtalar joint, and stabilization was achieve with Steinmann Pins. The evolution was satisfactory after the surgical treatment.
