Introduction: Talus fractures are uncommon and accounted for 2% of all lower limbs’ fractures. Due to its unique anatomical and biomechanical structure, talus plays an important role in ankle biomechanics. Talar fracture and/or dislocation can be associated with significant disability. Case Presentation: A case report to describe the presentation, management, and outcomes of 25 years old patient who presented with talar dislocation and associated rare fracture of infero-medial talar articular surface in anterior subtalar joint. Treatment and outcomes: open reduction and internal fixation with three cannulated screws was performed. At 10 weeks follow-up, there was enough clinical and radiological evidence to suggest fracture healing. Patient allowed to weight bear using walker boot. Discussion: we presented a rare case of talus fracture dislocation which was treated surgically with open reduction and internal fixation with satisfactory outcomes at 10 weeks of follow up.
