Ankle sprain fracture - Posterior talar process fracture
Posted , 5 users are following.
Hi, i got some ankle issues and need help.
I sprained my ankle (4 months ago) real hard and fast playing basketball, I couldn't put a bit of pressure on the foot for a few hours. Inside the back of the foot hurts during plantar flexion.I have this injury 4 months. I have done some research and I think it is a Posterior talar process fracture or a Fractured Steida's Process. The image below shows exactly where it hurts during plantar flexion. I found the image on google and it isn't my xray. How long will it take for it to heal and will it need surgery?

I think you should see an orthopedic.

I agree I'm by no means a doctor but it doesn't look like it will heal on its own.
Just knowing a doctor looked at no matter what he tells you would have to be peace of mind, don't want to make it worse.

Well it's not getting better as it should. Time to seek a 2nd opinion asap.
Are you having physio? If so what is physios opinion?
I had a snapped Fibula that didn't heal. Non union 100%. I had surgery 5 months later. I should have been more proactive. Had a bone graft too.
Get answers asap.
Healing easier once appropriate diagnosis and treatment received.
Good luck!
