Abstract
Dislocation of the talus from all its surrounding joints (talonavicular, tibiotalar, subtalar) not accompanied by a fracture (talus, navicular, calcaneus, malleoli) is an extremely rare. Management guideline is also not clear. Here cases were treated with closed reduction under general anesthesia with good followup result.
Key Words-Talus, dislocation, avuscular necrosis
