Case report: irreducible medial subtalar dislocation with incarcerated anterior talar head fracture in a young patient.

Subtalar dislocations are rare injuries that typically occur from high-energy injuries. All subtalar dislocations should be attempted to be closed reduced, however, ~32% are irreducible requiring open reduction. We present an irreducible medial subtalar dislocation following a motor vehicle accident with no associated fractures demonstrated on radiograph. However, open reduction revealed an incarcerated anterior talar head fracture that was reduced and stabilized with retrograde K-wires.
