Abstract
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.
