Early identification and anatomical fixation are essential to prevent long-term dysfunction.\n\nCase Report: A 35-year-old male resident doctor sustained a twisting ankle injury after a fall from stairs. Radiographs were inconclusive, but computed tomography (CT) revealed a displaced posteromedial process (Cedell\u2019s) fracture of the talus. The patient underwent open reduction and internal fixation through a posteromedial approach using two 3.0 mm Herbert screws. Postoperatively, the limb was immobilized in a below-knee slab for 2 weeks, followed by a below-knee cast for an additional 4 weeks. The cast was removed at 6 weeks. Gradual mobilization and partial weight-bearing were initiated, progressing to full weight-bearing by 8 weeks. Results: At 1 year, radiographs confirmed fracture union with full, pain-free ankle and subtalar motion and return to normal activity.\n\nConclusion: Cedell\u2019s fracture should be suspected in patients with posteromedial ankle pain after trauma, even with normal radiographs. CT imaging is crucial for diagnosis, and early fixation through a posteromedial approach with Herbert screws provides stable fixation and excellent functional recovery.\n\nKeywords: Cedell\u2019s fracture, talus, posteromedial process, Herbert screw, posteromedial approach.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.13107\/jocr.2026.v16.i04.7038","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,9]],"date-time":"2026-04-09T03:56:00Z","timestamp":1775706960000},"page":"66-69","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Cedell\u2019s Fracture of the Talus Managed with Herbert Screw Fixation through Posteromedial Approach \u2013 A Case Report"],"prefix":"10.13107","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Rajath S.","family":"Shetty","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedics, Grant Government Medical College and Sir JJ Group of Hospitals, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shubham Y.","family":"Dakhode","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedics, Grant Government Medical College and Sir JJ Group of Hospitals, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jaideep","family":"Das","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedics, Grant Government Medical College and Sir JJ Group of Hospitals, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ajit S.","family":"Rathod","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedics, Grant Government Medical College and Sir JJ Group of Hospitals, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Aakash N.","family":"Varma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedics, Grant Government Medical College and Sir JJ Group of Hospitals, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Abhishek M.","family":"Ganacharya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedics, Grant Government Medical College and Sir JJ Group of Hospitals, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"5271","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026]]},"container-title":["Journal of Orthopaedic Case Reports"],"original-title":[],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,9]],"date-time":"2026-04-09T03:56:10Z","timestamp":1775706970000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/jocr.co.in\/wp\/2026\/04\/cedells-fracture-of-the-talus-managed-with-herbert-screw-fixation-through-posteromedial-approach-a-case-report\/"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2026]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"4","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2026]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.13107\/jocr.2026.v16.i04.7038","relation":{},"ISSN":["2321-3817"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2321-3817","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2026]]}}}
