Background: The incidence of non-union or delayed union of patella fractures is rare and ranges from 2.7–12.5%. The present study was conducted to assess posteromedial talus fractures. Materials & Methods: 72 posteromedial talus fractures of both genders were included. Mechanism of injury, treatment given and complications was also recorded. Results: There was medial tubercle fracture in 38, postero- medial body fracture in 22 and posterior process fracture in 12 cases. Treatment given was cast in 25, excision in 30 and ORIF in 17 cases. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). Common complications were subtalar arthritis in 3, non- union and stiffness of ankle joint in 1 case each. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). Conclusion: Most common type of fracture was medial tubercle, postero- medial body fracture and posterior process fracture.
