        One case of compound total dislocation of the ankle-joint without fracture or diastasis is presented.
      • 2.
        Primary wound healing did not take place but the result, after excision of slough, followed by rotation of skin-flap and full-thickness skin-graft, was entirely satisfactory.
      • 3.
        Despite the gross appearance of the dislocation, the joint remained stable after reduction and repair of ligaments, and was strong enough to tolerate weight-bearing without pain at six weeks.
