Subtalar/Peri-talar Dislocations
|
|
All of these dislocations need to have post-reduction
CT-SCAN's to determine the extent of the injury. There are almost always some degree of cartilage damage associated with
these injuries and are often fracture fragments that need to be either fixed or removed.
|
Talonavicular joint is also dislocated
|
|
|
This is as close to open as you can get
|
|
Avulsion fragments form the interosseous ligament and medial talar head
|
|
It is important to get foot xrays as well. The talar head is lateral and often these cases are
often very difficult to reduce, because the head gets pinned laterally either on the navicular or via the extensor tendons.
