Closed dislocation of ankle with no associated fracture is an extremely rare entity. A case of 35 year-old man who was injured while playing soccer is presented. The treatment consists of closed reduction followed by immobilization with a walking cast for 6 weeks and unloading of the injured extremity the first 10 weeks. At 12 months follow-up, the patient had reinitiated sport at full range of motion. The literature was reviewed and a new classification is proposed.

Keywords : ankel; dislocation; tibiotalar; no fracture.
