Abstract
Osteotomy of the distal fibula or anterolateral corner of the tibia is usually required to fix a displaced osteochondral fracture of the talus that is located central to posterior area of the lateral talar dome. However, osteotomy is an invasive procedure and is associated with complications, including nonunion, persistent pain, and hardware-related problems. Lateral inverted osteochondral fracture of the talus (LIFT) lesion is an extremely rare type of displaced osteochondral lesion of the talus. We describe a case in which a LIFT lesion was fixed using an innovative surgical approach, inverting capsulo-lateral fibulotalocalcaneal ligament (LFTCL)-fibular periosteum complex, with a favorable short-term clinical outcome.
