Abstract
A case of medial subtalar dislocation associated with fracture of the posterior process of the talus is described. Although this injury pattern is uncommon, it is important to recognize the associated fracture, as it involves a weightbearing articular surface. In this case, the flexor hallucis longus also prevented anatomic closed reduction necessitating open reduction and internal fixation.
