Fractures of the talus and peritalar dislocations
View through CrossRef
♦ Talar fractures are uncommon injuries and the outcome is very dependent on the tenuous blood supply♦ Fixation with absolute stability must be achieved♦ Osteochondral and process fractures are sometimes difficult to appreciate on plain x-rays. Clinical examination and a high degree of suspicion will help to identify these problems early.
