title: Fracture of the posterior process of talus.
abstract: Fracture of posterior process of talus is quite rare, but is associated with significant morbidity as it involves two articular surfaces. We report two such cases in which open reduction and internal fixation were done with good functional results. One of the cases had a concomitant medial malleolus fracture which to the best of our knowledge has not been reported so far.
