Abstract:

Subtalar dislocation is defined as a separation of the talocalcaneal and talonavicular joints, usually caused by high-energy mechanisms, these are extremely rare injuries, the series of the literature reporting only a few dozen cases spread over several decades. The most common type is the medial dislocation resulting from an injury in inversion. They can be isolated (pure) or associated with a neighboring fracture (tibial pilon, talus, calcaneus) see open or closed. Closed reduction and immobilization remain the mainstay of treatment, X-ray and CT scan should be performed to assess the alignment and fractures. We report the functional results of two cases of a pure subtalar dislocation in two young men of 24 and 26 years on a 2-year delay.
