Article Synopsis
- Peritalar dislocations are rare foot injuries that involve dislocations of specific foot joints, primarily occurring in sports, with no previous reports found in rock climbers.
- A case study describes a 38-year-old climber who sustained a medial peritalar dislocation from a climbing accident, which was successfully treated with non-operative methods after a closed reduction in the emergency room.
- Timely closed reduction is crucial to prevent complications, and thorough radiological evaluations are essential to check for other fractures and assess the injury’s impact on recovery and function.
