    AbstractPure tibiotalar dislocations without associated fracture are rare. The authors report a case of an unusual closed tibiotalar dislocation without fracture, involving proximal ascension of the talus. Despite immediate closed reduction, a tibiofibular diastasis remained, therefore two syndesmosis screws were inserted, followed by six weeks of plaster casting. After 5 years of follow-up, functional results were excellent, MRI showed slight arthritic degenerative changes.Copyright 2009 European Foot and Ankle Society. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
