Popis: Complete dislocation of the talus is an extremely rare injury. We report on a case that was treated according to a surgical technique described by Günal et al. According to this technique, a pseudarthrosis is created between the tibia and the calcaneus by transposing and fixing the medial malleolus laterally and displacing the entire foot anteriorly. The result was considered to be initially unsatisfactory. At the 2-year follow-up examination, the outcome was considered to be satisfactory. This was attributed to preservation of motion and stability in the new mortise.
