| Popis: | A talar neck malunion is one of the major complications following operative or nonoperative treatment of talar neck fractures. The most common posttraumatic talar malunion results in varus malalignment of the talar neck and can lead to painful overload of the lateral foot and substantial impairment of hindfoot function. Secondary procedures in patients with painful malunited talar neck fracture include salvage procedures and anatomic reconstruction procedures. Anatomic reconstruction of the talar neck is a reliable surgical treatment to regain function, decrease pain, and restore hindfoot alignment and range of motion. |
