Abstract

Subtalar dislocation is a rare type of dislocation that is characterized based on the relationship of the calcaneus to the talus, with the medial and lateral forms being more prevalent and the posterior and anterior forms appearing only in isolated cases in the literature. We present the case of a patient with a closed posterior subtalar dislocation without an associated fracture, as documented clinically and radiologically. We also include a video of the technique for closed reduction under anesthesia, as well as a review of the existing literature on this rare type of dislocation.
