Subtalar dislocation is an unusual clinical case with very little mention in literature constituting nearly 1% of all traumatic dislocations. Here a 40 year old male who sustained fall over inverted foot was diagnosed as closed isolated medial subtalar dislocation with no associated fractures. This is an even more rare entity. Immediate closed reduction was done and immobilised for 4 weeks with below knee cast. This case report describes the mechanism of injury, ligaments involved, manoeuvre of closed reduction. This case report highlights the importance of prompt and urgent reduction and short period of immobilisation to avoid complications and better prognosis.
