Abstrakt: We present the case of a 43-year-old boy who presented with progressive pain as a result of history of lateral avascular necrosis of the talus secondary to traumatic open ankle luxation 20 years ago. Conservative treatment (12-month period) prior to surgery failed. It consisted of physiokinetic treatment, insoles and analgesic medication. A diagnostic injection was used in the ankle (positive) and subtalar joint (negative) in order to recognize origin of pain. Hemilateral avascular necrosis of the talus is rare. There are no prior reported cases of the use of hemi-implants. This case highlights the potential use of a patient-specific three-dimensional printed Ti6Al4V prosthesis presented in a complex scenario.
