Review of Talus Fractures and Surgical Timing

Benjamin J Grear. Orthop Clin North Am. 2016 Jul.

Abstract

This review article provides an overview of talus fractures. Special attention is given to the clinical literature that evaluates the timing of surgical management for displaced talus fractures. Several series support delayed definitive fixation for talus fractures, suggesting displaced fractures do not necessitate emergent surgical fixation.

Keywords: Delayed fixation; Surgical timing; Talus fracture.
