“…Open reduction is seldom required and only indicated if there is interposition of tendon or bone fragments blocking the reduction. The case reported by Chuo et al 11 required open reduction because of posterior tibialis tendon incarceration. Theoretically, open reduction and internal fixation of the anterior calcaneal fracture was indicated in this case in order to restore the articular congruity of the calcaneocuboid joint.…”

Anterior subtalar dislocation with comminuted fracture of the anterior calcaneal process

Anterior subtalar dislocation is a very rare injury. We report a case of an 81-year-old woman who had her right foot injured during a motor vehicle accident. Radiographs showed anterior subtalar dislocation with comminuted fracture of the anterior calcaneal process. The dislocation was closely reduced and protected by a short leg cast. One year postinjury, the patient had only mild pain when walking on uneven ground. There was mild tenderness over the lateral heel. Subtalar motion was mildly painful. There was no pain with ankle motion.

“…Tabib et al 10 reported that the dislocation followed a direct rear impact over the posterior aspect of heel after a fall injury. Chuo et al 11 reported that anterior subtalar dislocation occurred when the patient withdrew the trapped foot. In our case, the mechanism of injury was similar to that reported by Tabib et al .…”

Subtalar dislocations are rare and account for about 1% of all dislocations. Standard management is by prompt reduction by closed means, which if unsuccessful, should be followed by open reduction. We present a case report of a closed medial subtalar dislocation in which the talus is internally rotated by 90° and the talar dome formed a pseudoarticulation with the medial malleolus following unsuccessful attempts at closed manipulation and reduction. The patient underwent successful open reduction and fixation and subsequently recovered completely with an American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society hindfoot score of 100 at 5 years after injury. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report of a closed talus rotation.

“…Interestingly, 6 out of 23 patients that were treated with open reduction and K-wires fixation had fair or poor final outcome. On the other hand, Kanda et al [16] and Chuo et al [17] reported good results and only mild ankle soreness after open reduction of the dislocation. Finally, Ganel et al [18] and Love et al [19] found that conservative and surgical treatment of closed subtalar dislocations were equal in terms of ankle and foot function.…”

Closed subtalar dislocations associated with talus and navicular fractures are rare injuries. We report on a case of a 43-year-old builder man with medial subtalar dislocation that was further complicated by minimally displaced talar and navicular fractures. Successful closed reduction under general anesthesia was followed by non-weight bearing and ankle immobilization with a below-knee cast for 6 ;weeks. At 3 years post-injury, the subtalar joint was stable, the foot and ankle mobility was in normal limits and the patient could still work as a builder. However, he complained for occasionally mild pain due to the development of post-traumatic arthritis in subtalar and ankle joints. Our search in literature revealed that conservative treatment of all the successfully reduced and minimally displaced subtalar fracture-dislocations has given superior results compared to surgical management. However, even in cases with no or slight fracture displacement, avascular necrosis of the talus or arthritis of the surrounding joints can compromise the final functional outcome.
