Description

Ahmed Bakr, Yusuf Yusuf, Marwan Tahoun, and Anand Pillai review outcomes when a rare ankle-region dislocation is treated without surgery. Subtalar dislocation, where the foot twists out of place under the ankle, makes up only one to two percent of all dislocations. Quick manual realignment is standard, but what follows is less settled.

Their 2026 review searched five databases for case series and cohort studies of patients treated with realignment and a cast. Ten studies covering 201 feet qualified. The team pooled rates of later arthritis and summarized function, stiffness, bone death, and later surgery in words, given how varied the studies were. Bias was checked with a standard tool. The work maps what non-surgical care can and cannot promise.
