Talar Neck Fractures: Single or Double Approach?

Florencio Pablo Segura et al. Foot Ankle Clin. 2020 Dec.

Abstract

Correct approach selection in talar neck injuries is crucial to obtain adequate access to the entire fracture site avoiding malreduction and angular deformity. The major concern about a single incision technique is lack of visualization. Combined lateral and medial approaches are strongly recommended in complex talar neck fractures providing better control of dorsal and varus displacement of the talar head.

Keywords: Displaced talar neck fractures; Open reduction and fixation; Surgical approaches.
