Closed Ankle Dislocation and Separation of Syndesmosis without Associated Fracture

Closed posterior ankle dislocation without associated fractures: a case report

Ankle dislocation without associated fractures, also known as pure ankle dislocation is a rare injury. It is usually the result of high energy trauma. It could be a combination of predisposing anatomical factors plus certain ankle position at time of injury that produce this peculiar injury. In most cases it is managed conservatively with urgent reduction, 6-9 weeks of immobilization followed w...

Upward closed talocrural dislocation without fracture

Case Report: Closed Posteromedial Dislocation of the Ankle without Medial Malleolar Fracture

Closed ankle dislocation without associated fractures of malleoli is a very rare condition and has been reported sparsely in literatures. We present two cases of this type of injury. All patients were treated conservatively with immediate closed reduction and immobilization in a short leg slab. Mechanism of injury, MRI findings, management, functional outcome and possible complications were dis...

Closed medial total subtalar joint dislocation without ankle fracture: a case report

INTRODUCTION Total subtalar dislocation without fracture of the ankle is a rare clinical entity; it is usually due to a traumatic high-energy mechanism. Standard treatment is successful closed reduction under general anesthesia followed by non-weight bearing and ankle immobilization with a below-knee cast for 6 weeks. CASE PRESENTATION We present the case of a 30-year-old Moroccan woman who w...

Open medial dislocation of the ankle without fracture.

A 20-year-old man sustained an open medial dislocation of the ankle without an associated fracture after a low-energy inversion injury. Prompt debridement and reduction with primary wound closure of the skin were performed without suture of the capsule. Immobilisation in a non-weight-bearing cast for 30 days followed by ankle bracing for two weeks and subsequent physiotherapy, produced full fun...
