Abstract
Pure tibiotalar dislocation without an associated fracture is an extremely rare injury. We present three cases of closed posteromedial tibiotalar dislocation without any associated fractures to the foot, ankle, or leg. All patients were treated conservatively with immediate closed reduction under general or local anaesthesia and immobilised in a short leg cast for six weeks without weight-bearing resulting in a satisfactory outcome at the final follow-up. A review of the literature is also presented in this paper.Entities:
