Materials & Methods: 85 patients of posteromedial talus fracturesof both genderswas assessed using radiographs such as AP- view, lateral view and CT scan was also performed. Parameters such as type of fracture, treatment given and complications were recorded. Results: Out of 85 patients, males were 50 and females were 35.Type of fracture was medial tubercle in 35, postero- medial body fracture in 28 and posterior process in 22 cases. Treatment given was cast in 27, ORIF in 38 and excision in 20 cases. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). Common complications were subtalar arthritis in 2 patients, non- union in 6and stiffness of ankle joint in 1 patient. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). Conclusion: The common fracture was medial tubercle, postero- medial body fracture and posterior process. Non- union, subtalar arthritis and stiffness of ankle joint were common complications observed in the study.
