Abstract

Talus fractures are rare in the Pediatric age group as compared to adults. The injury occurs either from motor vehicle accidents or fall from height where there is a forced dorsiflexion of the ankle. The authors present here one such rare case of talar neck fracture with distal fibula fracture in a 9 year old boy, which was treated with percutaneous corticocancellous screws. On regular follow up the fracture was found to be healed completely.
