This study reviews treatments for talar dislocations, finding that immediate reduction and K-wire fixation are key. While many patients achieve good outcomes, long-term arthrosis and reduced motion are common after subtalar and total talar dislocations.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Traumatology
  • Podiatric Surgery

Background:

  • Talar dislocations, including subtalar, total talar, and peritalar types, are complex foot and ankle injuries.
  • Effective management strategies are crucial for optimizing patient outcomes and minimizing long-term complications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the therapeutic outcomes and long-term results of treating various types of talar dislocations.
  • To analyze the effectiveness of immediate reduction, surgical techniques, and secondary treatments.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 36 patients treated for talar dislocations between 1987 and 2003.
  • Classification of dislocations into subtalar (medial, lateral, open), total talar (medial, lateral), and peritalar (anterolateral UAJ).
  • Detailed analysis of treatment approaches, including closed/open reduction, K-wire transfixation, and ligament reconstruction, with follow-up assessments.

Main Results:

  • Subtalar dislocations: 17 excellent, 10 good, 3 mediocre, 2 poor results; common arthrosis and reduced joint motion observed.
  • Total talar dislocations: 2 good, 4 poor results; significant rates of talar necrosis (partial and total).
  • Peritalar dislocations: 2 excellent results with capsular ligament reconstruction.

Conclusions:

  • Immediate reduction and, when necessary, talonavicular K-wire transfixation are effective for subtalar dislocations, though arthrosis is a frequent sequela.
  • Total talar dislocations have a poorer prognosis with high rates of necrosis, often requiring arthrodesis.
  • Prompt surgical intervention and appropriate reconstruction are vital for managing complex talar dislocations.
