The fracture was initially recognized in 29 (70,7%) patients, and missed in 12 (29,3%) patients, respectively. Overall, the delayed diagnosed fractures had a significantly higher complication rate (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090,000) than the initially diagnosed fractures and received surgical treatment significantly (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090,009) more often.<\/jats:p>\n                <jats:p>After surgical treatment of 13 type IIIB, one nonunion occurred. Six missed type IIIA fractures were treated surgically after delayed diagnosis because of persistent symptoms. Two type I fractures required arthrodesis of the Chopart joint.
