Introduction: Talus dislocation without a concomitant fracture of the malleoli is a rare injury.
Case Report: We present a case of a closed anteromedial talus dislocation in a 25-year-old male motorcyclist due to a high-energy trauma, resulting from a fall following a road traffic accident. The talus could not be reduced by closed means making open reduction performed through a dorsal approach necessary. At 6-month follow-up, the patient has little pain and the range of ankle motion was satisfactory with some signs of bone contusion.
Conclusions: Talus dislocation is a rare injury that occurs after high-energy trauma. Open reduction can be beneficial, particularly if the initial attempt at closed reduction fails.
