Talar compression syndrome.
Abstract
The posterior process of the talus lies in a position of potential compression between the tibia and calcaneus. In an acute ankle sprain, not only are the ankle ligaments damaged, but, depending on the position of the foot at the time of injury, the posterior process may become fractured. The clinician must be aware of recalcitrant signs and symptoms that may lead him or her to the diagnosis of talar compression syndrome. Once the diagnosis has been made, either conservative or surgical treatment will usually provide complete relief.
