Popis: Although the presence of hyperuricemia and avascular necrosis of the hip is well documented, a similar association in the talus seems not to have been previously reported. The clinical and radiographic findings were confirmed by the histologic alterations in bone structure. Successful arthrodesis of the destroyed left ankle joint was accomplished by iliac bone graft.
