We report the results of treatment in eight @entity1 who had posteromedial dislocation of the ankle without @entity174 . The ages of seven of the eight @entity1 ranged from twenty-three to thirty-six years. Four @entity1 had increased generalized @entity10089 . One-half of the injuries were sustained during athletic competition. The mechanism of injury appeared to be forced inversion of the foot when it was maximally plantar flexed and axially loaded. Five of the eight @entity1 had an @entity542 , and four of the five @entity1 had an associated @entity531 . No @entity1 had an injury to the distal tibiofibular ligaments or to the syndesmosis. The three @entity1 who had a @entity3029 achieved good long-term functional and roentgenographic results after closed reduction and immobilization. The @entity1 who had an @entity542 that was treated by anatomical repair of the disrupted lateral ligaments at the time of initial d  bridement also achieved good long-term functional and roentgenographic results. It does not appear to be necessary to repair the deltoid ligament. In one @entity1 who had an @entity3029 and in whom the lateral ligaments were not repaired, moderate instability of the ankle resulted and degenerative changes developed in the joint.
