[Subtotal lateral foot dislocation with osseous fracture of the posterior syndesmosis].
This case was interesting because of the type of injuries--combination luxation of the talocrural and subtalar joint, endochondral fracture of the talus, and severe injury to the soft tissue. Although a careful study of the literature was made, nothing was found that dealt with similar injuries, including fracture of the posterior syndesmosis. The pathomechanism included motion phases that interfered with one another and merged. This injury is caused by a combination of luxation of the talocrural and subtalar joint, with forces acting in both radial and tangential directions. We worked out the pattern of injury, decided upon the treatment of choice, and summarize here some of the information found in the literature.
