Abstract
We present a unique case of an open talar neck fracture with medial subtalar joint dislocation. This rare and traumatic injury was treated with immediate open reduction of the subtalar joint and open reduction internal fixation of the talar neck fracture. After a follow-up of 2.2 years, highlighted by numerous complications including posttraumatic arthritis, soft tissue abscess, and fibrotic adhesions, the patient recovered sufficiently to return full activity.
