UNDERSTANDING FOOT AND ANKLE DISLOCATIONS

A dislocation occurs when the bones in a joint are forced out of their normal position. In the foot and ankle, dislocations often occur alongside fractures and ligament injuries, requiring expert evaluation and management.

Common types of foot and ankle dislocations:

Ankle dislocations (often with fractures)
Subtalar dislocations
Lisfranc (midfoot) dislocations
Toe dislocations
Peroneal tendon dislocations

These injuries require prompt, expert treatment to minimize long-term complications and restore proper function.

TREATMENT APPROACH

Treatment for dislocations depends on the type and severity:

Reduction: Careful repositioning of the displaced bones
Imaging: X-rays before and after reduction to ensure proper alignment
Immobilization: Casting or bracing to maintain alignment during healing
Surgical Intervention: When bones or ligaments need repair for stability
Rehabilitation: Structured recovery program to restore function and strength

Call (740) 851-4003 for urgent evaluation. A joint that is visibly out of place, or an injury with numbness or loss of circulation, should be treated as an emergency.
Bring your insurance card, photo ID, a list of your current medications, and any imaging or records from an urgent care or emergency department visit.
A typical evaluation includes reviewing how the injury happened, examining the joint, and checking circulation and sensation.
X-rays are taken before and after reduction to confirm the bones are properly aligned.
