Lateral subtalar dislocation associated with bimalleolar fracture: case report and literature review.
Journal of Foot and Ankle Surgery 2011 September
Subtalar dislocation is an uncommon injury that affects the talocalcaneal and talonavicular joints, with the tibiotalar and calcaneocuboid joints remaining intact. The 4 types of subtalar dislocation are medial, lateral, anterior, and posterior, although the latter 2 are rare. These injuries-especially lateral dislocation-occur as a result of high-energy trauma. Medial dislocation is the most common type, and lateral dislocation is associated with osteochondral fractures of the talus and calcaneus, as well as with open injuries; hence, its worse prognosis. We report the case of a 62-year-old woman diagnosed with lateral subtalar dislocation accompanied by an ipsilateral bimalleolar fracture after a fall downstairs. She underwent emergency reduction of the dislocation under sedation. Surgical treatment of the bimalleolar fracture was delayed 9 days to avoid cutaneous complications. This is the first report of a subtalar dislocation accompanied by a bimalleolar fracture.
