Abstract: | The authors present a case of bilateral Hawkins type II talar neck fractures sustained during a motocross race in a 23 year old man. Due to the complexity of the injuries, open reduction with internal fixation and primary subtalar joint arthrodesis was performed bilaterally. This is one of the few cases of bilateral talar neck fractures reported in the literature in the past 15 years and one of the first utilizing open reduction and internal fixation with concomitant subtalar joint arthrodesis as a primary treatment. |
