Abstract
A 22-year-old male US Military Academy cadet fell while sidestepping across the 8-ft-high bar portion of the indoor obstacle course. The cadet, in immense pain, was unable to bear weight immediately after the fall. Following examination by physical therapists within the fitness center, emergency medical service personnel transported the cadet to the emergency department for definitive care. Radiographs demonstrated impaction fractures of the tali, while computed tomography imaging of his ankles demonstrated Hawkins type 2 fractures bilaterally, indicating talar neck displacement and dislocation of the subtalar joints. <i>J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2020;50(7):409. doi:10.2519/jospt.2020.9098</i>.
