Resumen
DEL VECCHIO, Jorge J et al. Presentación inusual de una fractura-luxación Peritalar. Rev. Asoc. Argent. Ortop. Traumatol. [online]. 2018, vol.83, n.2, pp.118-123. ISSN 1852-7434.
A peritalar dislocation involves simultaneous disruption of the talocalcaneal and talonavicular joints. It is relatively uncommon and account for approximately 1% to 1.5% of all traumatic foot injuries. Medial dislocation is the most frequent type accounting for approximately 80% of reported cases. Lateral peritalar dislocations are less common (17%), and posterior (2.5%) and anterior dislocations are rare (1%). Approximately 55% of medial and 72% of lateral subtypes are associated with fractures. We report the case of a 36-year-old woman who suffered an indirect traumatism during kitesurf practice, after falling from the kite-board trying to avoid an accident. She presented a lateral peritalar dislocation with associated navicular, calcaneal and fibular fractures. A closed reduction was attempted three days from trauma. Six days after the lesion, surgery was performed. We recommend an early diagnosis of peritalar dislocations and a correct recognition of infrequent fractures to avoid usual complications.
