Zusammenfassung: | Highlights • Various patterns of injuries to foot are described in the literature but the sagittal cut injury of foot with a cut starting from the 3rd toe; then extending between 2nd and 3rd metatarsals, middle and lateral cuneiform; exiting by splitting of calcaneum and talus with a near total traumatic amputation of great toe while handling a machine is yet to be described in the english literature to our knowledge. • We managed this foot by fixing the fractures and reconstructing the foot. In the follow up there were no complications, wound healed completely and had sensations. • Our aim of salvaging the foot was successful and the patient is now ready to bear weight on it and walk. |
