title: Correction osteotomy for malunion of the talar head: a case report.
abstract: Talar head fractures are rare injuries. We present a 26-year-old man with malunion of the talar head. The displaced fracture was initially neglected. The patient was treated with osteotomy and bone grafting to improve the congruity and movement of the talonavicular joint. Three months after surgery, he returned to his pre-injury activity level with no disability.
