Peritalar dislocations are rare in children but often have good outcomes with prompt management. Delayed diagnosis occurred in two cases due to focus on associated fractures, highlighting the need for vigilance in pediatric talar injuries.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Pediatric Traumatology
  • Foot and Ankle Surgery

Background:

  • Peritalar dislocations are uncommon injuries involving the talus and surrounding bones.
  • Understanding these injuries in pediatric populations is crucial due to unique anatomical and physiological considerations.
  • Limited literature exists on pediatric peritalar dislocations, necessitating further case series.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the mechanism, management, and outcomes of peritalar dislocations in pediatric patients.
  • To compare pediatric peritalar dislocations with those observed in adult populations.
  • To highlight the challenges in diagnosing this rare injury in children.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of five pediatric patients diagnosed with peritalar dislocations.

  • Analysis of injury mechanisms, radiographic findings, and treatment protocols.
  • Evaluation of patient outcomes, including pain, gait, and functional recovery.

    • Main Results:

    • Four out of five pediatric patients achieved acceptable pain and gait outcomes.
    • Two cases experienced delayed diagnosis due to the presence of associated fractures.
    • Comparison with adult injuries suggests potential differences in presentation and recovery.

    Conclusions:

    • Peritalar dislocations in children can have favorable outcomes with appropriate management.
    • Missed diagnoses can occur, emphasizing the importance of considering peritalar dislocations even with obvious fractures.
    • This series contributes valuable data on a rare pediatric orthopedic injury.
