Talar neck fractures can lead to severe complications like arthritis. Careful surgical reconstruction (ORIF) or fusion may be successful for malunion or nonunion, but patient selection is key.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic surgery
  • Traumatology
  • Foot and ankle reconstruction

Background:

  • Talar neck fractures present significant challenges in orthopedic trauma.
  • Long-term sequelae, including posttraumatic arthritis and avascular necrosis, are common and severe.
  • Malunion and nonunion require careful evaluation of the fracture and adjacent joints.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the management and long-term outcomes of talar neck fractures.
  • To discuss reconstructive and salvage options for failed nonoperative treatment.
  • To evaluate the success of surgical interventions for malunited and ununited talar neck fractures.

Main Methods:

  • Review of literature on talar neck fracture management.
  • Analysis of outcomes for open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF).

  • Evaluation of reconstructive techniques, corrective fusion, and combined ankle/subtalar procedures.

    • Main Results:

    • Outcomes of talar neck fractures are often severe, irrespective of reconstruction quality.
    • Posttraumatic arthritis and avascular necrosis are frequent complications.
    • Successful reconstruction of malunion/nonunion is possible with careful patient selection.

    Conclusions:

    • Talar neck fractures necessitate meticulous ORIF when feasible.
    • Corrective fusion is a viable option for posttraumatic arthritis.
    • Motion-preserving procedures like combined ankle replacement and subtalar fusion offer alternatives.
