Ankle dislocations without fractures are rare. This case highlights the need for internal fixation in severely unstable tibiotalar joint dislocations due to complete ligament damage.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Traumatology
  • Anatomy

Background:

  • Tibiotalar joint dislocations without associated fractures are uncommon in orthopedic literature.
  • Complete ligamentous disruption can lead to severe ankle instability.

Observation:

  • A case of open anterolateral ankle dislocation with extensive ligamentous injury was observed.
  • The dislocation presented as grossly unstable, challenging standard reduction techniques.

Findings:

  • Internal fixation was necessary for stabilizing the tibiotalar joint dislocation.
  • A syndesmotic screw and a calcaneotalotibial transfixing pin were required for maintaining reduction.

Implications:

  • This case suggests that severe tibiotalar joint dislocations may require surgical stabilization, contrary to some previous reports.

  • Optimal management of ankle dislocations with complete ligamentous disruption necessitates careful assessment of joint stability.
  • The findings emphasize the importance of considering internal fixation in managing highly unstable ankle dislocations.
