@entity155 @entity174 of the medial tubercle of the posterior process of the talus occurs after forceful dorsiflexion-pronation of the ankle. We evaluated five @entity1 who had sustained this @entity174 while participating in sporting activities. Two @entity1 were correctly diagnosed acutely and treated with immobilization and limited weightbearing. @entity174 in the remaining three @entity1 went undiagnosed acutely. This group was treated with delayed operative excision for persistent posteromedial @entity158 . The @entity1 were evaluated at a mean follow-up of 35 months using the AOFAS Ankle-Hindfoot Scale. The two @entity1 diagnosed and treated acutely achieved excellent results. The three @entity1 with missed @entity174 did poorly, yet achieved comparable results after late excision. Our results suggest that prompt diagnosis and appropriate management yields reliably good outcomes. Untreated @entity155 @entity174 predictably do poorly. For these @entity1 , late excision can provide significant functional and symptomatic improvement.
