title: Associated lateral process and posteromedial tubercle talus fractures with entrapment of the medial neurovascular bundle: a case report.
abstract: This paper describes a case of an isolated fracture of the lateral process of the talus associated with a fracture in the posteromedial tubercle of the talus with entrapment of the medial neurovascular bundle. Currently no similar cases have been published describing this type of neurovascular bundle injury. Furthermore, in contrast to previously published cases, both fractures were treated surgically despite the absence of posteromedial tubercle fracture displacement. This article reviews the literature and provides useful recommendations for the clinical management of similar cases in the future.
