Fractures of the Talus-Report of 22 cases

Abstract
|
|
|
The management of the fractures of the talus poses considerable difficulty to the orthopedic surgery today. Clinical observation was made on the 22 cases of fractures of the talus treated at the Department of Ortho
pedic Surgery of the 77th Army Hospital during the 4-year period, from 1964 to 1967.
All 14 simple fractures with no displacement or no other demonstrable lesions resulted in satisfactory healing
regardless of treatment, while the remaining 8 cases with dislocations, communications,and combined fractures
of calcaneus or peritalar bones eventually resulted, in prolonged healing time with poor functional
recovery.
We believe the prognosis depends not so much on the type of treatment installed subsequentlys as on the type of injuries with presence of associated damage´to adjacent structures.
