Isolated medial subtalar joint dislocation. A case report
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Background: Medial subtalar dislocations are rare injuries characterized by dislocation of the talocalcaneal and talonavicular joints without affecting the calcaneocuboid joint. These injuries typically result from high-energy trauma and are often associated with inversion mechanisms. This report presents the case of a 20-year-old male who sustained a medial subtalar dislocation of the left ankle while playing volleyball. Initial management involved closed reduction under sedation, followed by immobilization and physical therapy. At the one-year follow-up, the patient demonstrated stable joint function, and achieved a high functional score (AOFAS 90). This case underscores the importance of timely diagnosis, appropriate reduction, and structured rehabilitation in optimizing functional outcomes for medial subtalar dislocations. Keywords: Subtalar dislocation, ankle injury.
