Abstract

Fractures of the medial tubercle of the posterior process of the Talus is a rare injury that is often misdiagnosed and mistreated. The location of the medial tubercle next to the posteromedial ankle makes the anatomical structures of this region susceptible to injury if the fracture does not heal properly. In cases that a chronic pain is caused by nonunion or malunion of a small fragment, surgical excision may give definitive solution. We describe here endoscopic excision of nonunion posteromedial fracture that irritated the Tibial nerve and FHL tendon.
