Closed total talar dislocation—a case report

[摘要] Total dislocation of the talus with dislocation of the talonavicular, subtalar and ankle joint is an extremely rare injury. Coltart in 1952 included no fracture total talar dislocation in his classification system [1]. Leitner considered subtalar dislocation to be the preliminary stage to total talar dislocation [2]. He stated that severe supination or inversion forces lead to medial subtalar dislocation followed by lateral total dislocation. A literature review revealed previous reports of open total talar dislocations [3, 6, 7]. We report a successful case of a closed total talar dislocation, which required an open reduction.
