Introduction: One of the common injuries that is fractures of the talus with an incidence of 0.1-0.85% of all fractures. Due to the unique shape and location of the talus, significant stress is often required to fracture the neck of the talus. The exact mechanism may be either from a hyper dorsiflexion force from an axial load on the forefoot while the talus is fixed between the calcaneus and tibia. Because of the high degree of energy required to fracture the neck of the talus, most talar fractures are displaced and, if not anatomically reduced, can be associated with serious complications such as hindfoot deformity, arthritis, or AVN. To treat talus fracture patient non pharmacologically MWM with MET and conventional therapy can help manage these non-pharmacologically. Aim: The aim of the study is to find the effect of addition of MWM with MET on ROM and function in patient with history of talus fracture after 21 of intervention. Many patients with talar neck fractures are polytraumatized, and therefore it is important to adequately evaluate the patient according to Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) protocols and rule out associated injuries. Design: Single subject case study Method and procedure: The method used in this study is effect of MWM with MET on range of motion and function in patient with post-operative talus fracture. Surgery comminated fracture of left talus and avulsion fracture of ACL. A formal informed consent was taken from the patient VAS Score and Ankle dorsiflexion was taken on day 0 and day 21. The pre and post outcome measures was compared to evaluate the significance of the study. Result: Results show improvement in in pain score and ankle dorsiflexion range of motion after 21 days of intervention. Conclusion: This case study concludes that there is effect of MWM with MET on ROM and function in patient with history of talus fracture.
