An ankle dislocation occurs when there is an abnormal separation between the talo-tibial joint. This most often occurs concomitantly with an ankle fracture due to the strength of the surrounding stabilizing ligaments in the ankle. This activity outlines the evaluation and treatment of ankle dislocation and reviews the role of the emergency department and orthopedic specialists in managing patients with this condition.

Target Audience

This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of physicians.

  • Outline the appropriate history, physical, and evaluation of ankle dislocation.
