Midfoot in a special area of the foot and ankle.It is involved in the formation of both the longitudinal and transverse arch.And it participates in both weight-bearing and buffer functions.It plays a crucial role for the maintenance of the normal morphology and functions of the foot.However,midfoot injuries are easily ignored because this area is relative small.Some common injuries will be elaborated and discussed here in order to provide a basis for clinical treatment.
