Tibiotalar Dislocation
Background
- Most ankle dislocations are associated with a fracture
- Posterior dislocation is most common
- Assoc with rupture of tibiofibular ligaments or lateral malleolus fracture
Management
- Must rule-out neurovascular compromise and conversion to open fracture
- Reduce immediately if vascular compromise or skin tenting is present
Sub-Talar Dislocation
Background
- Orthopedic emergency
Evaluation
- Plain radiographs usually sufficient
Management
- Immediate ortho consultation and reduction
