Abstract:
Subtalar dislocation of the foot is one in which there is simultaneous dislocation of the talonavicular joint and talocalcaneal joint while the tibiotalar relationship is unchanged. It was described first by Judey and Defourest in 1811. It incidence was 1% to 1.3% of all dislocations and 15% of injuries of the talus. We have experienced one case of a medial subtalar dislocation without fracture. In our case which was followed for 14 months, the head of the talus was palpable on the dorsum of the foot and the heel was displaced medially in relation to the leg. Radiographically, on the lateral view, the head of the talus was shown superior to the navicular and on the A-P view, the normal talonavicular relationship was disturbed with the calcaneus being displaced medially. The closed reduction was carried out successfully.
