Subtalar joint dislocations are rare but increasing injuries. Most cases are successfully treated with closed reduction and immobilization, though some disability, like stiffness, often remains.

Area of Science:

Orthopedic Surgery
Traumatology
Anatomy

Background:

Subtalar joint dislocations are uncommon orthopedic injuries.
Existing literature details their anatomy, pathophysiology, treatment, and prognosis.

Purpose of the Study:

To review current literature on subtalar joint dislocations.
To outline pertinent anatomy, pathomechanics, and treatment strategies.
To describe complications and challenges in reduction.

Main Methods:

Literature review of subtalar joint dislocations.
Analysis of anatomical and pathomechanical factors.
Evaluation of treatment outcomes and complications.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

Subtalar joint dislocations, while rare, have increased in frequency.

Closed reduction and short-term cast immobilization are generally successful treatments.

Most patients experience some residual disability, primarily subtalar joint stiffness.

Conclusions:

Subtalar joint dislocations require careful management.
While closed reduction is often effective, long-term outcomes may include persistent stiffness.
Intra-articular fractures elevate the risk of post-traumatic arthrosis.
