Avascular Necrosis of the Talus in Juveniles
نویسنده
چکیده
Avascular necrosis of the talus after severe ankle injury is well known. Avascular necrosis of talus is extremely rare in juveniles. However, it has been controversial whether the incidence of AVN after fracture of talus is higher in adult than in juveniles. It is possible that the immature talus can be more susceptible to circulatory. As treatment of avascular necrosis of the talus, non-operative treatment could be considered in juveniles. Prolonged non weight bearing might not be necessary for avascular necrosis of the talus.

متن کاملHybrid Ankle Prosthesis in a Case of Post-traumatic Avascular Necrosis of the Talus
Talus fractures often lead to late post-traumatic arthrosis. In such cases, the use of latest generation, cementless prostheses has been hindered by the presence of avascular necrosis. We report the case of a 65-year-old patient who presented four years after a talus neck fracture. He had painful ankle arthrosis (AOFAS ankle-hindfoot score 19) and avascular necrosis, with collapse of the entire...
متن کاملTibiocalcaneal fusion for avascular necrosis of the talus.
Between 1994 and 1999, we treated six patients with avascular necrosis of the talus by excision of the necrotic body of the talus and tibiocalcaneal fusion using an Ilizarov frame. This was combined with corticotomy and a lengthening procedure. Shortening was corrected in all patients except two, who were over 60 years of age. All patients had previous operations which had failed. All achieved ...
متن کاملAvascular necrosis of the talus treated by core decompression.
We reviewed 11 patients (17 ankles) who had had core decompression for symptomatic avascular necrosis of the talus before collapse. The Mazur grading system was used to assess function preoperatively and at final follow-up, and radiographs were graded according to the Ficat and Arlet (1980) classification modified for the ankle. At a mean follow-up of seven years (2 to 14) 14 ankles (82%) had a...
