[Knowledge about and therapy of Shepherd's fracture].
In literature the compression of the distal part of the talus is described as Sherpherd's fracture. Although many proposals of treatment have been made there is a high rate of complications. Well timed surgical reconstruction and implantation of autogenous cancellous bone is the therapy of choice. Avascular bone necrosis can be avoided in this way.
