Major fractures and dislocation of the talus and peritalar joint are uncommon. We present here a very rare case of injury with delayed presentation of closed total talus dislocation with fractured medial malleolus and posterior talar tubercle fracture. This report analyzes previous reports in the literature and the proposed treatment.

IntroductIon Fractures of the talus are rare injuries that comprise <1% of all fractures.[1,2] Talar neck fractures are the most common in occurrence with talar body fractures occurring less frequently, comprising approximately 40% of all talar injuries.[2] The literature reports a high incidence of sequelae associated with talus fractures with arthrosis, osteonecrosis, and malunion being the m...

We evaluated fecal pellet counts as an index of hoary marmot (Marmota caligata) social group size in order to develop a simple, inexpensive method for monitoring population change of a widely distributed, but poorly studied alpine mammal. Fecal pellet counts were conducted in three separate seasons along several 2 m 3 100 m transects located parallel to and 10, 20, and 30 m from the edge of alp...

Enucleation or triple dislocation of the talus is a rare injury; in literature, it represents 2 to 10% of the talar trauma. The prognosis for this type of injury is dominated by the risk of osteonecrosis. We report a case of closed enucleation of the talus, treated in a conservative manner with satisfactory functional outcome. It's a patient of 32 years, victim of a road traffic accident that r...

Predicting habitat suitability under climate change is vital to conserving biodiversity. However, current species distribution models rely on coarse scale climate data, whereas fine scale microclimate data may be necessary to assess habitat suitability and generate predictive models. Here, we evaluate disparities between temperature data at the coarse scale from weather stations versus fine-sca...

Wildfires are increasing in frequency and severity as a result of climate change inmany ecosystems; however, effects of altered disturbance regimes on wildlife remain poorly quantified. Here, we leverage an unexpected opportunity to investigate how fire affects the occupancy and abundance of a climate-sensitive habitat specialist, the American pika (Ochotona princeps). We determine the effects ...

Objective To provide a review of osteochondral lesions of the talus, to discuss the evidence of the risks and benefits of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) as a viable treatment option, and to measure the efficacy of PRP using MRI evidence of cartilage regeneration, as well as scales that measure improvement in 'pain' and 'functionality'. Eligibility criteria Studies that use PRP in either conservat...

The osteochondral lesion of the talus and its treatment has become an important issue over last decades. The main causes of lesion of the talus cartilage are osteochondritis dissecans, arthritis, fractures, etc. There are many operative management techniques of the cartilage repair including bone marrow cell inducing techniques such as micro fracture surgery, drilling, PDGF and graft applicatio...

The Lambrinudi arthrodesis for drop foot is a popular operation not only because it yields good results but also because fusion occurs more easily than in other methods. The Lambrinudi operation is usually indicated in the correction of talipes equinus or equinovarus. The chief features of the operation are : excision of a wedge of bone from the talus and calcaneum, including the subtalar joint...

BACKGROUND Although differences in the results of the bone marrow stimulation technique between the knee and ankle have been reported, a detailed mechanism for those differences has not been clarified. The purpose of this study was to examine whether morphological differences between the knee and ankle joint affect the results of drilling as treatment for osteochondral defects in a rabbit model...
