Total talar dislocation is a rare
injury1-6
that usually occurs as a result of a high-energy continuation of extreme
supination forces causing lateral subtalar dislocation or extreme pronation
forces causing medial subtalar
dislocation7. Most
of these injuries are open and are associated with a high rate of
postreduction complications, such as persistent infection (reported in up to
89% of patients2),
shearing osteochondral fractures
(45%3),
osteonecrosis (33% to
50%1,8,9),
and severe degenerative
arthritis5,6.
