A subtalar dislocation of the foot is a dislocation of the talonavicular and talocalcaneal joint while the tibiotalar relationship is unchanged. Posterior subtalar dislocation in particular, is a extremely rare. Only a few cases were reported previously in the literature. We treated a 25 year-old man who sustained the posterior subtalar dislocation in high energy traffic accident. The dislocation of subtalar joint was reduced by closed means with excellent clinical result. In this paper, we report 1 case of posterior dislocation of the subtalar joint and describe the pathomechanics, diagnosis, and treatment.

Calcaneus fracture with a subtalar dislocation are extremely rare. A case of a joint depression type calcaneus fracture with a lateral dislocation of the calcaneal posterior facet and tuberosity is presented. We treated it with open reduction and internal fixation with Steinmann pins and K-wires through limited posterior approach and obtained satisfactory radiographic and clinical outcome.
