Description

We present a case of lateral process fracture of the talus with lateral malleolus avulsion fracture of the ankle. A 67-year-old woman lost her gait and was diagnosed with lateral malleolus avulsion fracture of the ankle at the first hospital she visited. She was then admitted to our hospital, where we diagnosed her condition as lateral process fracture of the talus with lateral malleolus avulsion fracture of the ankle by CT. Lateral process fracture of the talus was displaced. We performed open reduction and internal fixation on each fracture by cancellous screws. She has had no complication in daily living after the operation. Lateral process fracture of the talus is thought to be relatively uncommon, sometimes over looked in the first examination. In particular, lateral process fracture of the talus with lateral malleolus fracture is rare. In this case, CT was useful for diagnosis.
