Abstract
[Case 1] A 54-year-old man was caught inside heavy equipment during work and sustained injury. His talus broke the skin and protruded out. Simple X-ray revealed left talus open dislocation fracture. After washing, open reduction was performed.
[Case 2] A 37-year-old woman was injured in a traffic accident. Deformation of the foot joint was seen. Simple X-ray and CT indicated right subtalar inside the dislocation fracture. Close reduction was performed but due to remaining sub-dislocation of the subtalar, open reduction was performed.
[Case 3] A 13-year-old girl visited out hospital due to difficulty in walking and stumbling over steps. Her left foot was fixed in the plantar flexion, and Xp indicated dislocation of the left talus. She was treated with a plastic cast for preservation.
[Discussion] Neither re-dislocation nor avascular necrosis of the talus were seen for talus dislocation in the patients experienced this time after reduction. Details are reported including reference to some literature.
