A case of closed isolated medial subtalar dislocation
Keywords:
closed dislocation, subtalar dislocation, reduction manoeuvre.Abstract
Introduction: Closed isolated subtalar dislocations are very rare and major cause of subtalar dislocation remains to be road traffic accidents.
Objective: Identify isolated medial subtalar closed dislocations and their forms a management.
Presentation of case: 22 year old male sustained road traffic accident following which he had deformed foot with inability to bear weight. On evaluation he was found to have medial subtalar dislocation reduced with manual traction. One year follow up showed, no residual deformity or pain and had very good functional outcome.
Conclusions: It is of great importance to identify the difference between medial subluxation or dislocation and medial swivel injury which have different mechanisms as well as different reduction maneuvers.
