Total traumatic extrusion of the talus is a rare and disabling ankle injury. Treatment may include talar reimplantation or talar body removal, but an optimal treatment protocol has not yet been established. Several case reports showed that disruption of the vascular supply and contamination could lead to major complications, such as infection and avascular necrosis, with the high risk of these complications being associated with both the traumatic ankle injury itself and subsequent talar reimplantation. No report to date has described the revascularization of a completely extruded talus, as shown by serial MRI, a less invasive surgical strategy consisting of immediate reimplantation, early administration of antibiotics, and a short period of cast immobilization followed by early motion exercises. The present study describes complete revascularization and good clinical outcomes in a 30-year-old man who underwent talus reimplantation after isolated total talar extrusion.

A medial swivel peritalar fracture-dislocation is a rare and disabling foot injury. The terminology describes a peritalar dislocation as the direction of peritalar foot displacement. Medial dislocation is the most frequent type. A rare variant involves talonavicular joint dislocation, subtalar joint fracture-dislocation, and calcaneocuboid fracture-dislocation. The clinical position of the foot resembles an equinovarus deformity. A computed tomography (CT) scan is necessary to obtain a diagnosis and formulate a surgical plan. A medial swivel peritalar fracture-dislocation is a challenging injury, and because there have been few reported cases in the literature, an optimal treatment protocol has not yet been established. We present a case of an unusual fracture-dislocation pattern of the hind and midfoot causing a complex talonavicular fracturedislocation, subtalar fracture dislocation, and calcaneocuboid fracture-dislocation. The injury was successfully treated with open reduction and internal fixation.
