Summary

Total talus dislocation, a rare high-energy trauma injury without fractures, can lead to joint degeneration. This case highlights successful open reduction, preserving talar stability and preventing avascular necrosis.

Ankle 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...

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Trauma Management
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Total talus dislocation is a rare injury, often associated with high-energy trauma.
  • This injury typically results in degenerative joint changes and avascular necrosis.
  • Fracture of the talus or malleoli is common in such cases.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a case of total talus dislocation without associated fractures.
  • To describe the management and outcomes of this rare injury.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of open reduction in preventing complications.

Main Methods:

  • A case of high-energy trauma resulting in total talus dislocation was analyzed.
  • Radiological assessment confirmed no talar or malleolar fractures.

  • Open reduction was performed due to unsuccessful closed reduction.
  • Post-operative follow-up included clinical and radiological assessment at 6 months.

    • Main Results:

    • The patient sustained a total talus dislocation from a fall from height.
    • No fractures of the talus or malleoli were detected.
    • Open reduction was successful in restoring talar alignment.
    • At 6-month follow-up, no talar subluxation or avascular necrosis was observed.

    Conclusions:

    • Total talus dislocation without fractures is a rare but significant injury.
    • Open reduction can be an effective treatment for this condition.
    • Early intervention may prevent long-term complications like avascular necrosis and degenerative changes.
