Midfoot injuries, encompassing navicular dislocations and fractures of the navicular bone, present unique challenges in trauma care. We report the case of a 27-year-old male who suffered a fall down a flight of stairs, resulting in navicular dislocation and multifocal fractures of the midfoot. The patient underwent a comprehensive management plan, including admission, closed reduction, and internal fixation with parallel K-wires. Radiological evaluations confirmed the extent of the injuries. Postoperatively, the patient received tailored care, incorporating pain management, antibiotics, and thromboprophylaxis. The successful outcome underscores the importance of a structured approach in addressing midfoot injuries, contributing to the existing literature on optimal management strategies. This case report serves as a valuable addition to the growing body of knowledge guiding clinicians in the effective treatment of navicular dislocations and navicular fractures.
