title: Isolated talus fractures: description of a new clinical sign.
abstract: Isolated talus fractures are very uncommon and are usually associated with severe trauma. Five cases of isolated talus fracture associated with relatively minor trauma are reported. These five patients had one clinical sign in common, pain out of proportion to the severity of their injury. The treatment of talus fractures is reviewed.
