| Summary: | Isolated subtalar dislocation (SD) is an exceptionally rare foot injury. Prompt gentle reduction, injury severity, and duration of postreduction immobilization are prognostic determinants of functional outcome. Consensus has eluded the orthopedic community regarding optimal duration of immobilization and weight-bearing protocol, following successful reduction of SDs. This case report highlights the functional outcome following early postreduction immobilization and weight-bearing in isolated SD and reviews the current evidence. |
