Summary
A medial peritalar dislocation, a rare foot injury, was successfully treated with closed reduction and casting. Follow-up at 12 months showed a normal range of motion with only mild pain after extensive walking.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedics
- Traumatology
- Sports Medicine
Background:
- Medial peritalar dislocation is a severe injury involving the talar bone and surrounding ligaments.
- Prompt diagnosis and management are crucial for optimal patient outcomes.
Observation:
- A case of medial peritalar dislocation is presented.
- The injury was treated non-operatively with closed reduction and cast immobilization for three weeks.
Findings:
- The patient achieved a normal range of motion at the 12-month follow-up.
- Mild pain was reported only after prolonged walking, indicating a successful functional recovery.
Implications:
- Closed reduction and casting can be an effective treatment for medial peritalar dislocations.
- This approach may lead to good functional recovery and patient satisfaction in selected cases.

01:10Ankle Joint
The ankle is formed by the talocrural joint (crural = leg). It consists of the articulations between the talus bone of the foot and the distal ends of the tibia and fibula of the leg. The superior aspect of the talus bone is square-shaped and has three areas of articulation. The top of the talus articulates with the inferior tibia. This is the portion of the ankle joint that carries the body weight between the leg and foot. The sides of the talus are firmly held in position by the articulations...
01:16Bones of the Lower Limb: Femur and Patella
The femur is the body's longest and strongest bone spanning the thigh region. Its head articulates with the acetabulum of the hip bone to form the hip joint. A minor indentation on the medial side of the femoral head, called the fovea capitis, serves as the site of attachment for the ligament of the head of the femur. This weak ligament spans the femur and acetabulum and supports the hip joint. The narrowed region below the head is the neck of the femur. The inclination angle between the neck...
01:28Muscles of the Leg that Move the Foot and Toes
The human leg comprises an intricate system of muscles that facilitate the movement of feet and toes. Within this system, the muscles are categorized into the anterior, lateral, and posterior compartments, each with a unique set of muscles carrying out specific functions.
Anterior Compartment
The anterior compartment includes muscles that contribute to the dorsiflexion of the foot. This compartment houses the tibialis anterior, extensor hallucis longus, and extensor digitorum longus muscles.
