Abstract

Talar body fractures are rare. Four major types of talar neck fractures are known but talar body fractures are rarely described. An unusual case of a sagittal fracture of the body of talus is reported in this article. No similar cases are reported in the English literature to the best of our knowledge. The risk of avascular necrosis is very high and accurate reduction with solid fixation remains the key to better outcome. We discuss the possible mechanism of injury along with review of literature.
