Abstract 

The fracture of the postero-medial process of talus is very rare. It is caused by the avulsion of the posterior talo-tibial ligament. The diagnosis is usually missed in favor of distortion of the ankle. CT scan show the fracture. Treatment depends on fragment's dimension and its displacement. We propose a classification of those lesion.
