A rare case of external subtalar dislocation

Abstract

Subtalar dislocation is a very rare injury. It is an orthopedic emergency. External dislocation is exceptional. It uncommonly occurs after a sport accident. We here report the case of a footballer presenting with Cauchoix and Duparc type II open external subtalar dislocation following an accident during a sport competition. The patient underwent orthopedic treatment. At 1-year follow-up, functional outcome was satisfactory.
