Abstract

Isolated fracture of the posterior medial tubercle of the talus is a rare injury. To our knowledge the fracture has only been described by five different authors. We diagnosed lately a fracture after a direct trauma. Non-operative treatment with custom made insoles and counselling lead to a acceptable outcome.
