ABSTRACT: Introduction: Pure medial subtalar dislocation is very rare and therefore rarely reported. A case treated orthopedically and evaluated in the short term is described in this work. Case Report: An 18-year-old student suffered a blunt trauma to the left ankle during a soccer match. He landed on the outside of his foot in a slight inversion position after a high-altitude duel. He presented with pain and an inversion deformity of the foot and varus of the ankle. Radiological investigations revealed a pure medial subtalar dislocation. Closed reduction and cast immobilization were performed, followed by functional rehabilitation. At 6 months’ follow-up, the ankle was functionally and radiologically satisfactory. Conclusion: Pure medial subtalar dislocation is a rare injury that can occur in adolescents following low-energy trauma. Its prompt treatment yields satisfactory radiological and functional results.
