title: [A Rare Fracture-dislocation of Talus.].
abstract: In the introduction the authors analyze the issues of the fractures of talus which is a key connection between the foot and the lower limb. For the prognosis of the healing of fractures of the talus they consider the most important its retrograde vascularization. Further they decribe types of fractures of the talus according to Hawkins. In their view a certain role is played also by the mechanism of the injury. The core of the work is a case report of a 34-year old mountaineer who sustained a very rare fracturedislocation of the talus which was treated by open reduction and fixation by means of K-wires. During the 18-month follow-up they recorded a full bone consolidation of the fracture without any symptoms of the feared avascular necrosis. In the conclusion they compare the data in literature with their own results. Key words: fractures of talus, typology of fractures after Hawkins, surgical treatment.
