Background:

Intra-articular calcaneal fractures can lead to significant morbidity.
Dislocation of the anterior process into the subtalar joint is a rare and complex presentation.
Optimal management strategies for such injuries are debated.

Observation:

A case of a complete anterior process fracture and dislocation into the subtalar joint is presented.
The fracture involved the entire anterior process of the calcaneus.
The dislocated fragment significantly impacted the subtalar joint.

Findings:

Open reduction and internal fixation were performed for the complex fracture-dislocation.
The surgical intervention resulted in favorable clinical outcomes.

Post-operative recovery demonstrated good functional restoration.

Implications:

This case highlights the importance of aggressive surgical management for displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures.
Early and effective intervention can mitigate long-term disability associated with subtalar joint involvement.
Reviewing literature supports a proactive approach to prevent chronic pain and functional limitations.
