A rare lateral subtalar dislocation occurred in a 19-month-old girl following a minor fall. This case highlights the need for comprehensive pediatric examinations to detect subtle injuries like dislocations.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Pediatric Traumatology

Background:

  • Subtalar joint dislocations are uncommon pediatric injuries.
  • Literature review indicates a lack of reported cases in infants and toddlers.

Observation:

  • A 19-month-old female sustained a lateral subtalar dislocation after a low-energy fall.
  • The injury was initially not diagnosed as a dislocation.

Findings:

  • This represents the youngest reported case of lateral subtalar dislocation.
  • Delayed diagnosis can occur if subtle injuries are missed.

Implications:

  • Thorough physical examination is crucial in pediatric patients presenting with lower extremity injuries.
  • In cases of unexplained refusal to bear weight, occult fractures or dislocations should be considered and ruled out.
