Abstract
A US Marine sustained a medial subtalar dislocation while playing basketball in mid-cut tennis shoes. Though such dislocations generally involve high-impact mechanisms, this case supports previous indications of a sports-related mechanism. Generally, conservative treatment involving closed reduction under general anesthesia is adequate, as it was with this patient. Some cases may require surgery. An MRI obtained 8 weeks postinjury revealed possible damage to the articular cartilage of the talus. Preventive strategies may include appropriate shoes, suspended wood floors, and conditioning.
