Abstract

Closed total talar dislocations are rare injuries that result in a dislocation of the talus from its surrounding articulations and typically occur in the context of a high energy trauma. Only a handful of cases exist in the literature discussing the diagnosis and management of closed total talar dislocations. We report the case of 36-year-old woman diagnosed with a closed total talar dislocation associated with multiple tarsal fractures. In view of neurovascular compromise, she successfully underwent urgent closed reduction under sedation in the emergency room and was admitted for further investigations. Here, we discuss her case, review the existing literature, and discuss the recommended management.
