Background: A posteromedial talus fracture is a specific type of fracture that occurs in the talus bone, which is one of the major bones of the ankle joint. The present study was conducted to assess cases of posteromedial talus fractures. Materials & Methods: 76 patients of posteromedial talus fracturesof both genders were enrolled and parameters such as type of racture, therapy administered, and complications were all documented. Results: Out of 76 patients, males were 46 and females were 30. Type of fracture was medial tubercle in 52, postero- medial body fracture in 28 and posterior process in 16 cases. Treatment given was cast in 21, excision in 30 and ORIF in 25 cases. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). Common complicationswere non- union in 2, subtalar arthritis in 5 and stiffness of ankle jointin 1 patient. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). Conclusion: Vommonfracture was medial tubercle, postero- medial body fracture and posterior process. Common complicationswere non- union subtalar arthritis and stiffness of ankle joint.
