[Dislocation of the foot and talus--a rare injury of the ankle joint].

In their communication the authors describe two cases of a very rare injury presented in the world specialized literature under the title "luxation pedis cum talo". They treated two professional sportsmen with this diagnosis at the clinic. The authors describe the pathological anatomy of this injury where there occurs almost complete rupture of both deltoid and fibular ligaments of the ankle. In both mentioned cases, despite the severe instability of the nakledorsally placed parts of both ligaments have been preserved, and namely pars tibiotalaris post. lig. deltoidei and lig. fibulotalare post. The authors deal with the question if the cases of "luxatio pedis cum talo" consist in the actual momentary dislocation or rather an extreme subluxation in this joint. Surgical treatment of this injury--the suture of the ruptured ligaments--is an absolute indication and necessity. Adequate reconstruction of the ligamentary apparatus of the ankle gives a guarantee of complete recovery and full functional return of the injured ankle.
