Abstract
Five patients with peritalar dislocations were identified in a search for injuries of the talus. We report the mechanism, management, and outcome of their injuries and compare and contrast the injuries with the same injury in adults. To our knowledge, our series is the only small series of this rare injury in children. Four of our 5 patients had acceptable results with respect to pain and gait. In two patients, the peritalar dislocation was missed, necessitating a delay in management because more attention is focused on obvious fractures, when they exist.
