[Sagittal burst fracture of the talus].
Fractures of the talus have a relatively low incidence, accounting for 0.3% of all bone fractures and 3.4% of fractures of bones in the foot. These injuries affect the neck of the talus more frequently than its head or body. Because of the combined traumatic mechanism, sagittal fracture of the talar body is extremely rare; the literature contains only a few case reports, all with severe dislocation of the fragments. Plain film radiographs and CT pictures recorded in a rare case of nondisplaced fracture of the talar body are presented.
