title: Open tongue-type calcaneus fracture with a partial posteromedial subtalar dislocation.
abstract: Calcaneus fractures with a subtalar dislocation are extremely rare. A case of a tongue-type calcaneus fracture with a posteromedial dislocation of the calcaneal posterior facet and tuberosity is presented. Treatment included lag screw fixation to maintain the reduction without further soft-tissue trauma.
