Ankle Joint01:10

Ankle Joint

3.4K
The ankle is formed by the talocrural joint (crural = leg). It consists of the articulations between the talus bone of the foot and the distal ends of the tibia and fibula of the leg. The superior aspect of the talus bone is square-shaped and has three areas of articulation. The top of the talus articulates with the inferior tibia. This is the portion of the ankle joint that carries the body weight between the leg and foot. The sides of the talus are firmly held in position by the articulations...

Bones of the Lower Limb: Tibia and Fibula

The tibia is the main weight-bearing bone of the lower leg. It is larger than the fibula with which it is paired. The tibia is also the second longest bone in the body and is located right below the skin. The proximal end of the tibia forms the medial and the lateral condyle, which articulates with the condyles of the femur to form the knee joint. Between the articulating surfaces is the irregular elevated area known as the intercondylar eminence that serves as the inferior attachment point for...

Muscles of the Leg that Move the Foot and Toes

5.1K
The human leg comprises an intricate system of muscles that facilitate the movement of feet and toes. Within this system, the muscles are categorized into the anterior, lateral, and posterior compartments, each with a unique set of muscles carrying out specific functions.
Anterior Compartment
The anterior compartment includes muscles that contribute to the dorsiflexion of the foot. This compartment houses the tibialis anterior, extensor hallucis longus, and extensor digitorum longus muscles....

Knee Joint01:23

Knee Joint

3.4K
The knee joint is the most complicated joint in the body. It consists of three articulations– two tibiofemoral and one patellofemoral. As is characteristic of synovial joints, the knee joint has a thin articular capsule that partially surrounds this joint cavity. Additionally, several ligaments, muscles, and cartilaginous structures support the movement of the knee.
A total of seven ligaments support the knee joint. The patellar ligament, which is also attached to the quadriceps femoris...

Bones of the Lower Limb: Femur and Patella

8.1K
The femur is the body's longest and strongest bone spanning the thigh region. Its head articulates with the acetabulum of the hip bone to form the hip joint. A minor indentation on the medial side of the femoral head, called the fovea capitis, serves as the site of attachment for the ligament of the head of the femur. This weak ligament spans the femur and acetabulum and supports the hip joint. The narrowed region below the head is the neck of the femur. The inclination angle between the...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Total talar extrusion, a rare foot injury, often leads to complications like infection and bone loss when treated with arthrodesis. Early reimplantation of the talus is suggested as a viable alternative for better patient outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic surgery
  • Traumatology
  • Foot and ankle surgery

Background:

  • Total talar extrusion without soft tissue attachment is an exceptionally rare injury.
  • Optimal treatment strategies for this severe foot trauma remain debated.

Observation:

  • This study reports the long-term outcomes of two patients with complete talar extrusion treated via arthrodesis.
  • Both patients experienced significant complications, including infection and progressive osteolysis.

Findings:

  • Arthrodesis for total talar extrusion resulted in severe complications in the observed cases.
  • The study highlights the challenges associated with managing this rare orthopedic injury.

Implications:

  • Reimplantation of the extruded talus following prompt debridement is proposed as a potential treatment option.
  • This approach may be preferable unless the talus is contaminated or absent, mitigating risks associated with internal wound complications.
