Abstract
Subtalar dislocation is an exceptional finding in routine clinical practice. Although many of these dislocations result from a high-velocity injury such as a fall from a height or road traffic accidents, a significant number occurs as a result of low velocity injuries. The aim of this paper is to highlight two of such injuries that we managed conservatively with good functional recovery after a follow-up of 3 years.
