Anterior subtalar dislocations are extremely rare. To our knowledge, o
nly four cases have been reported in detail in the literature. A diagn
osis of anterior subtalar dislocation should be confirmed by an antero
posterior view radiograph because lateral subtalar dislocation always
includes some anterior displacement of the mid-foot. We report a case
of anterior subtalar dislocation confirmed by both lateral and anterop
osterior view radiographs and discuss its pathomechanism, diagnosis, a
nd treatment.
