Abstract:
A case of a 22 year-old woman who sustained a closed Hawkins type II talar neck fracture after her left foot was caught in a rope while rock climbing outdoors is described. She presented to emergency department with a swollen and neurovascularly intact foot and a displaced talar neck fracture was identified. Intraoperatively a traumatic rupture of tibialis anterior tendon was found and was primarily repaired after the talar fixation. Revisiting the mechanism of injury it was evident that the jagged fracture ends ruptured the tibialis anterior tendon while she was hanging upside down on the strapping with the foot in forced equinus. This is the first case of such complication associated with a talar fracture and signifies the importance of tibialis anterior examination in such fractures.
