A 41 year-old male was involved in a high speed accident and was taken to the NYOTS. Radiographs revealed a right-sided talus fracture. Through a minimally invasive technique, the talus fracture was reduced and fixed using 2 cortical screws. He continued to return at regular follow-up intervals and healed uneventfully, and at 1 year following fracture surgery he presented with an excellent outcome including excellent radiographic and clinical results, resolution of pain and returned to his pre-injury activities.
