title: [Long-term results of talus fractures].
abstract: In a retrospective study we analysed 29 operative treated fractures of the Talus. The classification of Marti and Weber has been used in this study. The incidence of necrosis was 17% of the group III and IV and that one of arthritis 27%. There was no infection in our series. We doubt that a longterm non weight-bearing with a caliper brace has an effect on the outcome of a necrosis of the Talus. The evidence of the Hawkins' sign on the ap-radiograph at 6-8 weeks is a good and simple parameter of the vitality of the Talus.
