Osteotomy for malunion of a talar neck fracture: a case report.
Foot & Ankle International 1999 March
A malunion of the talar neck after a Hawkins type II fracture/dislocation of the talar neck occurred in a 34-year-old man after nonoperative treatment. Rigid varus deformity of the forefoot was a source of severe pain and disability in this patient. We describe our surgical technique for osteotomy of the talar neck with insertion of a tricortical iliac crest bone graft to correct the deformity. At follow-up (56 months), the patient had consistent relief of pain and was employed at his preinjury job doing heavy labor. The score on the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society Ankle-Hindfoot Scale improved from 11 points, preoperatively, to 85 points, postoperatively. Radiographs showed maintenance in the position of the osteotomy and no evidence of avascular necrosis in the talar body. Evidence of arthrosis of the talonavicular joint was apparent radiographically, but the patient did not complain of symptoms referable to this area.
