[Talus substitution using a vascular pedicled bone flap]

Authors report on the substitution of in consequence of complete talus luxation, missing talus. It succeeded with the transplantation of a free vascular pedicled bone block, gained from the crista ilei to retain the length of the extremity and to secure the gait of the patient without aid, finally to make the return to the former active life possible. The use of the method in similar cases was found to be unknown after a review of the literature. This case is an example demonstrating the growing significance of microsurgery in the traumatology.
