Summary

A medial subtalar dislocation, a rare injury without fracture, occurred in an 18-year-old male athlete. Successful treatment involved closed reduction and immobilization, with full recovery at one year.

Background:

Subtalar joint dislocations are uncommon injuries, often associated with high-energy trauma.
Medial dislocations are less frequent than lateral dislocations.
This case highlights a specific type of subtalar joint injury in a young athlete.

Observation:

An 18-year-old male sustained a medial subtalar dislocation during a basketball game.
Radiographic evaluation revealed no associated fractures.
The patient presented with acute joint instability and pain.

Findings:

Successful closed reduction of the medial subtalar dislocation was achieved.
Immobilization with a cast facilitated bone and soft tissue healing.
One-year follow-up demonstrated a complete absence of symptoms and return to activity.

Implications:

Non-operative management can be effective for select cases of medial subtalar dislocation.
Prompt diagnosis and treatment are crucial for optimal outcomes in subtalar joint injuries.
This case contributes to the understanding of subtalar joint dislocations in athletic populations.
