Fracture of the medial tubercle of the posterior prosess of the talus is rare. We report one case, a 17-year-old man, who was injured in a motorcycle accident in May, 1998. He had pain behaind the medical malleolus, limitation of the plantar flexion of the toes, and numbness over the sensory disribution of the medial planter nerve. A diagnosis of the fracture of the medial tubercle of the posterior process of the talus with the plantar nerve palsy was conducted. We performed open reduction and internal fixation, and kept him non-weight-bearing for 7 weeks after surgery. Twelve months after operation hypesthesia disappeared and there was no limitation of activity.
