 Abstract
 PDF
- Tibio-talar dislocation that is not associated with fracture is a rare injury. In 1939, Wilson et al. reviewed fourteen cases and described two cases of their own. Since then, there have been few reports of limited experiences. The authors experienced two cases of posteromedial dislocation without fracture among 32 cases of ankle dislocation which were treated at department of Orthopedic Surgery, Yonsei Univeristy College of Medicine from April 1983 to May 1989.

Abstract
PDF
- The importance of fixation of the medial malleolus was stressed in the treatment of ankle joint fractures in the early 60s; later more attention was paid to the effects of the treatment of the lateral malleolus. Fibular integrity is essential in stabilizing of the ankle joint. Loss of lateral malleolus may result in separation of inferior tibiofibular joint, ankle instability and talus displacement. Eventually this leads to traumatic arthritis.
The authors experienced 3 cases of loss of lateral malleolus which were treated at Yongdong Severance hospital, Yonsei University College of Medicine. The results were obtained as follows; total loss of lateral malleolus leads to adductioin instability of talus and slightly lateral talar shift, and partial loss of lateral malleolus leads to no lateral talar shift. But the results are obtained for short term and long term follow up is needed.
