Treatment with external fixation of displaced talar fractures.
This article presents a case report on a 17-year-old girl who sustained a dislocation fracture of the talus, and was treated with external fixation. The fracture healed with a good result. After a 1-year follow-up, the patient had completely normal, pain-free mobility in the ankle joint. There were no radiographic signs of osteonecrosis.
