摘要:Subtalar dislocation is an unusual form of joint injury from high-energy trauma or athletic injuries. This case
report describes a 22-year-old male who presented to the emergency department with left ankle pain after
falling from his bicycle. Examination revealed significant deformity of the left foot and ankle. The foot
pointed medially, and the bottom portions of the tibia and fibula were visible with the overlying skin intact.
Radiographs confirmed left medialsubtalar dislocation. There was no neurovascular compromise of the foot.
The dislocation was successfully reduced under procedural sedation and the patient’s left leg was placed in
a splint. He underwent post-reduction imaging and was instructed to remain non-weight-bearing and to
follow up with orthopedics to discuss further management. The purpose of this report is to describe a case
of a closed, medial subtalar dislocation and the approach to management.
