A fratura do processo lateral do talus (PLT) é rara e confunde-se com a clínica do entorse lateral do tornozelo. Por ser frequente entre snowboarders é conhecida como a “fratura do snowboarder”. O tratamento cirúrgico tem revelado melhores resultados nesta patologia que não sendo diagnosticada, ou com tratamento tardio, conduz a morbilidade prolongada. Os autores apresentam um caso de fratura do PLT na sequência de atropelamento. Após tratamento cirúrgico o doente retomou a função completa da articulação subtalar prévia ao acidente. Este caso clínico demonstra que o mecanismo de lesão não é exclusivo do snowboard. O índice de suspeição elevado para o diagnóstico e o tratamento adequado é fulcral para a obtenção de bons resultados funcionais. Fracture of the lateral process of the talus is rare and may be confused with lateral ankle sprain. Because this injury is frequent among snowboarders it is known as “snowboarder´s fracture”. Operative treatment has revealed better results of an injury when not diagnosed or late treated can produce lasting morbidity. The authors present a case report after a running over. With surgery the patient has recovered total function of the subtalar joint. The present case shows that the mechanism responsible for this fracture isn´t exclusive of snowboard. An high level of suspicion is necessary for a precocious diagnosis and proper treatment it´s central for good outcomes.
