Talar Neck Fracture after United Tibiotalar Fusion

Talar Neck Fracture after United Tibiotalar Fusion

Tibiotalar arthrodesis is a well-established treatment for tibiotalar arthritis, for example, in younger high demand patients. Talar neck fractures are less common though well-recognised sequelae of foot ankle trauma. Here we present the clinical case of a 69-year-old male who presented to our institution with a nonunion of a talar neck fracture, having undergone a left tibiotalar fusion 24 yea...

Radiologic case study. Talar neck fracture with tibiotalar and posterior subtalar dislocation.

Surgical technique: talar neck osteotomy to lengthen the medial column after a malunited talar neck fracture.

BACKGROUND Treatment of malunited talar neck fractures is challenging, and few studies address anatomic reconstruction as an alternative to arthrodesis. We describe a new surgical approach attempting to improve function and avoid development of degenerative changes in the adjacent joints. DESCRIPTION OF TECHNIQUE Indications included malunited talar neck fractures. Through a dorsomedial appro...

Talar Neck Fracture with Dislocation Combined with Bimalleolar Ankle Fracture: A Case Report

BACKGROUND Fractures of the talus are uncommon injuries that usually involve the talar neck, rather than the talar body. This report is of a rare case of combined left talar neck fracture and adjacent joint dislocation with an ipsilateral bimalleolar ankle fracture. CASE REPORT A 37-year-old man presented with an injury to his left foot following a motor vehicle accident. When he presented to t...

Management of talar neck fractures.

Talar neck fractures are usually the result of high-energy trauma. It remains controversial whether talar neck fractures require emergent treatment. Most surgeons recommend the use of dual surgical approaches, anteromedial and anterolateral, to allow accurate visualization and anatomic reduction. It is important to carefully preserve any remaining talar blood supply. Obtaining satisfactory clin...
