Irreducible talar dislocation with entrapment by the tibialis posterior and the flexor digitorum longus tendons. A case report.

Abstract

Complete open-talar dislocation irreducible by virtue of entrapment by the tibialis posterior and flexor digitorum longus tendons occurred in a 41-year-old woman. Two-year follow-up examination revealed no evidence of avascular necrosis. A cursory review of the literature suggests that recovery of a complete range of motion is unusual.
