Abstract We report an unusual case of open vertical dislocation of the talus without malleolar fracture following motor vehicle accident. Most previously reported cases are medial, lateral, posteromedial and posterior dislocations. The anterolateral, posterolateral, and purely superior dislocations of the talus make up smaller a percentage. The mechanism of this injury appears to be forced eversion of the foot when it is maximally plantar flexed and axially loaded. Our case has treated by open reduction of the talus and anatomical repair of the disrupted deltoid ligament at the time of initial incision and open reduction with internal fixation of the calcaneus also achieved good long-term functional and radiographic results.
