Abstract

Major fractures and dislocations of the talus are uncommon, but the management of this fracture and of the complications is difficult. The results of treatment of this fracture as a whole are generally poor. This is mostly due to frequent complications such as avascular necrosis of the talus. The authors analyzed the 13 cases of the talus fracture and evaluated the results. We obtained the following results; 1. In final results, 3 cases were excellent, 4, cases were good, 3 cases were fair and 2 cases were poor. 2. Avascular necorsis of the talar body occurred in 4 cases of all fractures. 3. Other complications were arthrofibrosis, subtalar arthritis, infection and drsal exostosis of the talar neck.
