Introduction:
The osteochondral fracture of the talus is an uncommon condition, therefore, there are controversies for the optimal treatment. We report a novel surgical technique of bone peg fixation for osteochondral fracture of the talus.
Materials And Methods:
We report two cases that underwent bone peg fixation for the acute osteochondral fractures of talus. Clinical and radiographic evaluations were performed at the last follow-up.
Results:
At the last follow-up, mean ROM of ankle joint was 50° (range 45°-55°). Additionally, mean VAS and AOFAS score were 0 and 100 at the last follow-up, respectively. All patients obtained bone union without complication at the last follow-up radiographs.
Conclusions:
This case study shows good clinical and radiographic results with autologous bone peg fixation in patients with acute osteochondral fractures of the talus.
Level Of Evidence:
V, expert opinion.

Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...
Fixation and Sectioning
The simplest type of preparation is the wet mount, in which the specimen is placed in a drop of liquid on the slide. A liquid specimen can be directly deposited on the slide using a dropper. Solid specimens, such as skin scraping, can be placed on the slide before adding a drop of liquid to prepare the wet mount. Sometimes the liquid is simply water, but stains are often added...
