Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Traumatology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Talus fractures are rare but severe injuries impacting foot and ankle mobility.
  • Talar neck and body fractures account for 40% of talus injuries, often resulting from high-energy trauma.
  • The talus's extensive articular cartilage and role in force transmission necessitate precise fracture management.

Observation:

  • An atypical talus fracture case involving the lateral talar process and body in the coronal plane is presented.
  • The patient, a 28-year-old male, sustained the injury from a fall.
  • Radiological imaging revealed a fracture line extending from the posterior lateral talar process into the body.

Findings:

  • Open reduction and internal fixation were performed via an open approach.
  • A rigorous rehabilitation protocol was implemented post-surgery.
  • At three months, the fracture showed satisfactory healing with no articular surface irregularities, enabling pain-free ambulation and full ankle range of motion.

Implications:

  • Open reduction and internal fixation can effectively restore joint congruency in complex talus fractures.
  • Customized treatment based on fracture morphology is essential for optimal outcomes.
  • Prompt diagnosis and appropriate perioperative care are critical for preventing post-traumatic arthritis and regaining function.
