Background:
This study sought to characterize a cohort of talar neck and body fractures, focusing on fracture characteristics, associated injuries, treatment and outcome.
Methods:
We reviewed adult patients registered in the Swedish Fracture Register 2011-2021 with talar neck and body fractures. A minimum 2-year follow-up was conducted for treatment outcomes.
Results:
We included 313 patients (318 fractures, median age 34 years, 67 % men) of which 106 involved the neck, 134 the body and 78 combined body and neck. 36 % had associated injuries. Operative treatment was implemented for 55 neck (52 %), 81 body (60 %), and 70 combined fractures (90 %). Reoperation rates were, 35 % for neck, 32 % for body and 44 % for combined fractures.
Conclusion:
Talar fractures primarily occur in men and are associated with other fractures. A majority of the fractures are treated operatively and one in three patients undergoes reoperation, with higher reoperation rates in combined body and neck fractures.

01:27Fractures: 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...

Initially, the limb buds consist of a core of mesenchyme covered by a layer of ectoderm. The ectoderm at the end of the limb bud thickens to form a narrow crest called the apical ectodermal ridge. This ridge stimulates the underlying...
