Article Synopsis
- Posterior talar body fractures are difficult to treat surgically, particularly when the articular surface is involved, necessitating precise anatomical reduction.
- The medial malleolus osteotomy (MMO) offers limited access and may harm the articular cartilage, while the posteromedial approach (PMA) provides better visibility and access to the entire posterior talus for effective treatment.
- This article discusses the PMA technique and presents outcomes from a large series of patients who experienced posterior talar body fractures managed with this method.
