Posteriormedial dislocation of the talus. A case report and review of the literature.
The authors present the case of a closed posteriomedial enucleation of the talus, which is the first ever reported in the literature. The patient's course is described and available publications are fully reviewed. The authors believe that in spite of the high rate of necrosis observed in talus enucleations, it is valid to attempt treatment designed to prevent necrosis, reserving arthrodesis for those cases where necrosis has already occurred or where walking is impaired.
