Results of closed subtalar dislocations.

Background The subtalar dislocation (SD) of the foot is an uncommon injury characterized by a simultaneous dislocation of talocalcaneal and talonavicular joints without involvement of the tibiotalar and calcaneocuboid joints. Purposes The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical and radiological outcome in a consecutive series of close SD. Methods We retrospectively evaluated a case series of patients who presented a close SD. Thirteen patients were selected for this study. There were 9 patients with a medial SD, 3 patients with a lateral dislocation and 1 patient with a posterior subtalar dislocation. Results The most frequent symptoms observed in our study included transient mil…

Proximal Tibiofibular Joint Reconstruction With Autogenous Semitendinosus Tendon Graft

Isolated and chronic anterolateral instability of the proximal tibiofibular joint (TFJ) is an uncommon condition, generally linked to an unrecognized or unhealed dislocation of the TFJ. Clinically, abnormal anterior movement of the head of the fibula is detected. In acute injuries conservative management should be preferred, whereas surgical treatment have been advocated in patients with chronic TFJ instability. Authors describe a new surgical reconstruction technique for chronic instability of the proximal TFJ using an autogenous semitendinosus tendon. The graft is passed through fibular and tibia tunnels and fixed with 2 interference screws. The tibial tunnel is reamed from the posterolat…
