Abstract
Subtalar dislocation is a rare traumatic foot injury in which the calcaneus and navicular bone are displaced relative to the talus, which remains in its normal position within the ankle socket. It should be considered a medical emergency, and no treatment is specific to this injury. We report a case of pure open medial subtalar dislocation following a road traffic accident. The patient underwent emergency reduction followed by stabilization with two calcaneal-talotibial pins and one talonavicular pin, then plaster cast immobilization for six weeks. After 16 months of follow-up, the functional results were satisfactory.
