Controversies in treating talus fractures

Orthop Clin North Am. 1995 Apr;26(2):335-51.

Abstract

Controversies of talus fractures are related to the rare incidence of these fractures and the even more sparse, clinically based, objective research examining treatment outcomes. This article outlines various talus fracture types, treatment, and treatment controversies. A discussion section summarizing treatment controversies of talar neck fractures, the most common talus fracture, is also included.
