Isolated Open Total Talar Dislocation: A Case Report and Literature Review

Abstract

Abstract:<br /> Open total talar dislocation without associated fractures is an extremely rare injury. There are scant reports in the literature. Accordingly, there<br />is no consensus about the appropriate treatment of the extruded talus. We present the case of a 33‑year‑old man who sustained an isolated<br />open total talar dislocation focusing on its management and outcome and review the literature. Open total talar dislocation is a terrible injury<br />and its treatment is demanding. Early reimplantation of the talus appears to be a relatively risk‑free and feasible procedure. Talectomy should<br />be considered as a salvage procedure.
