Abstract:
Total dislocation of talus is an extremely rare injury. It can be found few reports about dislocations in distal tibiofibular joint without accompanying fibular or medial malleolus fracture. In this case we report about a young patient with high energy trauma who presents a close total talar posteromedial dislocation associated with a fibula posteromedial dislocation. We perform an open reduction temporarily fixed with K wires and finally with 2 trans-syndesmotic screws.
