A rare case of talar body fracture combined with traumatic rupture of the anterior talofibular ligament and peroneal longus tendon is presented and reports in the literature are reviewed. We suggest that the mechanism of the injury was initial plantar flexion and inversion with rupture of anterior talofibular ligament and peroneal longus tendon, followed by forced dorsiflexion with talar body fracture. The treatment consisted of open reduction with internal fixation of the talar body fracture and primary repairs of the ruptured anterior talofibular ligament and peroneal longus tendon.
