Summary
Subtalar dislocation, a simultaneous foot joint dislocation, often results from falls or twisting injuries. Prompt diagnosis and treatment, typically closed reduction, are crucial for optimal outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedics
- Trauma Surgery
- Sports Medicine
Background:
- Subtalar dislocation involves simultaneous talocalcaneal and talonavicular joint displacement.
- Commonly caused by high-energy trauma such as falls from height, twisting injuries, and motor vehicle accidents.
- Medial dislocations, often from inversion injuries, are most frequent and may be associated with fractures.

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...
01:28Muscles 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.
