Abstract
We describe an articular talar dome fracture treated with the use of an arthroscopically assisted placement of a transfibular Acutrak screw (Accumed, Hillsboro, OR). This minimally invasive technique can be used to avoid the large incision used in the traditional open reduction and internal fixation of these fractures. Accurate reduction and stable fixation of fractures of the articular surface of the talus is a must, and this technique allows this while avoiding the morbidity of the open approach.
