Subtalar dislocation is described as the simultaneous dislocation of the talo-calcaneal and talo-navicular joints without any tibio-talar or talar neck associated fractures. This injury is rare, and represents 1% of dislocations. We report the case of 28-year-old male patient, without any medical history, who had been involved in a sport accident causing a rare closed external subtalar dislocation without any bone fracture. An open reduction was indicated after failure of closed reduction and the X-ray control showed good joint congruence; the fixation was maintained for 6 weeks and then the rehabilitation was started. The evaluation was favorable, and we noted good functional results after a decline of 12 months.

Subtalar dislocation is a rare injury in traumatology. The lateral variant is exceptional and provides more complications. This dislocation often occurs following high energy trauma and involves simultaneous dislocation of the subtalar and talo-navicular joints. We report two cases of subtalar dislocation, medial and lateral, with good evolution.
