Abstract :
Ankles injuries are common in sports such as
football and soccer and one of the most serious and most
rare is the subtalar dislocation. This injury is rare,
touches young male patients and usually associated to
fractures of the talus, the malleoli or the fifth metatarsal.
Usually, this injury occurs in high-energy trauma, but it
is very rare in sports injuries. Here we present the case
of a 36-year-old male with an isolated Medial Subtalar
Joint Dislocation after a severe tackle in a football
(soccer) game. We performed a closed reduction under
general anesthesia, and then a short-leg cast was applied
for 4 weeks, followed by active and passive range of
motion. At one-year follow up from trauma, the patient
had a pain-free ankle with active full range of motion.
For isolated medial subtalar dislocation occurring
during sports activities, the first choice is the
conservative treatment: Immediate closed reduction
needs to be achieved followed by a short immobilization.
Active/passive range of motion need to be started early
to avoid joint stiffness.
