Abstract
|
|
|
|
Total extrusion of the talus is a very rare injury. If the talus is found in a short time, it can be restored to its original position. If the talus is missing or found too late, however, surgeons may attempt tibiocalcaneal arthrodesis or use a pseudoarthrosis without repositioning the talus. As direct tibiocalcaneal arthrodesis may shorten the lower extremity, tibiocalcaneal arthrodesis using a sandwich block can be performed. We performed tibiocalcaneonavicular arthrodesis using a sandwich block to treat a patient with open talus extrusion caused by a motorcycle accident and obtained good clinical results.
