Ankle Joint

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...

Background:

Tibiotalar dislocations are uncommon injuries, particularly those without associated fractures.
Open ankle dislocations present unique challenges in management and outcomes.

Observation:

A case of an unusual open medial ankle dislocation without any associated bony injury is presented.
The injury involved significant soft tissue disruption requiring immediate surgical intervention.

Findings:

Successful closed reduction and debridement were performed under general anesthesia.
Capsular suture and ligamentous repair were conducted, followed by external fixation for immobilization.
A 3-year follow-up revealed excellent functional recovery with no signs of ankle instability or degenerative arthritis.

Implications:

This case highlights the successful management of a rare open ankle dislocation without fracture.
Early surgical repair and stabilization can lead to favorable long-term outcomes in such injuries.
Further research into optimal management strategies for open ankle dislocations is warranted.
