Abstract:

Tibiotalar dislocation without associated fractures of the malleoli is an unusual traumatic injury, sporadically reported as isolated cases [1-4] or as small series [5-7] in literature. Fahey and Murphy [8] classified this lesion into 5 subtypes based on direction: posterior, anterior, medial, lateral or superior combined. Anterior tibio-talar dislocation without associated fractures is a rare injury, and, to the best of my knowledge, only 4 cases have been reported in English-language medical literature to date [7,9,10]. Here, I document a review of literature. It is interesting that 1 of 4 previously reported [7] pure anterior ankle dislocations also involved who had sustained multiple ipsilateral lower
