Talar body fractures are an extremely rare presentation in children that are associated with high-energy trauma. They constitute devastating injuries and a management challenge for orthopedic surgeons, which could be further complicated by avascular necrosis, post-traumatic arthritis, and non-union. We report a case of a fracture-dislocation of the talar body in a 10-year-old boy, including emergency management, definitive treatment, and 1-year follow-up clinical and radiologic findings.

Keywords : Fracture-dislocation; talus; necrosis.
