[Treatment of talus fractures. Control study of 262 treated cases].
It is useful to subdivide talus fractures in central and peripheric ones, as serious complications have to be expected only in the first group. Under 207 central talus fractures the feared talus necrosis has been found after operative treatment as well of collum as of corpus-trochlea fractures in about 21% of the cases, after conservative treatment in 11 respectively 19%, while posttraumatic arthrosis appears in over 50% (talus fractures with side injuries). The isolated central talus fracture has a better prognosis. The earlier the exact anatomical reposition is realized, the better are the results. Open talus fractures are threatened by infection. The so called central talus fractures--open or closed--are surgical emergency cases and so they have to be treated.
