Abstract
Medial subtalar dislocations following sport’s trauma are infrequent and rarely reported in the literature. They have an excellent prognosis with early reduction. We report the observation of a pure subtalar dislocation closed in a young athlete of 28 years, occurring following a sports accident (handball) with medial displacement. The reduction was performed urgently under general anesthesia. Restraint with a cast boot was performed for six weeks, followed by rehabilitation. The functional results were excellent, with no signs of instability or osteoarthritis.
