Subtalar dislocation is a rare traumatic injury to the foot in which the calcaneus and the navicular bone are displaced relative to the talus which maintains its normal relationship within the tibiotalar mortise. It must be considered a therapeutic emergency, and no treatment is specific to this lesion. We report a case of pure open internal subtalar dislocation stage 2 of Gustillo and Anderson following a domestic accident falling from the height of a Baobab tree of approximately 3 m: The patient benefited from an urgent reduction followed by a stabilization with arthrosis by two calcaneo-talo-tibial pins, and cast immobilization for six weeks. After a 12-month follow-up, the functional results were satisfactory.
