PLoS One 2024; 19:e0295350. [PMID: 38748674 PMCID: PMC11095721 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0295350] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/19/2023] [Accepted: 03/10/2024] [Indexed: 05/19/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Talar fractures often require osteotomy during surgery to achieve reduction and screw fixation of the fractured fragments due to limited visualization and operating space of the talar articular surface. The objective of this study was to evaluate the horizontal approach to the medial malleolus facet by maximizing exposure through dorsiflexion and plantarflexion positions. METHODS In dorsiflexion, plantarflexion, and functional foot positions, we respectively obtained the anterior and posterior edge lines of the projection of the medial malleolus on the medial malleolar facet. The talar model from Mimics was imported into Geomagic software for image refinement. Then Solidworks software was used to segment the medial surface of the talus and extend the edge lines from the three positions to project them onto the "semicircular" base for 2D projection. The exposed area in different positions, the percentage of total area it represents, and the anatomic location of the insertion point at the groove between the anteroposternal protrusions of the medial malleolus were calculated. RESULTS The mean total area of the "semicircular" region on the medial malleolus surface of the talus was 542.10 ± 80.05 mm2. In the functional position, the exposed mean area of the medial malleolar facet around the medial malleolus both anteriorly and posteriorly was 141.22 ± 24.34 mm2, 167.58 ± 22.36mm2, respectively. In dorsiflexion, the mean area of the posterior aspect of the medial malleolar facet was 366.28 ± 48.12 mm2. In plantarflexion, the mean of the anterior aspect of the medial malleolar facet was 222.70 ± 35.32 mm2. The mean overlap area of unexposed area in both dorsiflexion and plantarflexion was 23.32 ± 5.94 mm2. The mean percentage of the increased exposure area in dorsiflexion and plantarflexion were 36.71 ± 3.25% and 15.13 ± 2.83%. The mean distance from the insertion point to the top of the talar dome was 10.69 ± 1.24 mm, to the medial malleolus facet border of the talar trochlea was 5.61 ± 0.96 mm, and to the tuberosity of the posterior tibiotalar portion of the deltoid ligament complex was 4.53 ± 0.64 mm. CONCLUSIONS Within the 3D model, we measured the exposed area of the medial malleolus facet in different positions and the anatomic location of the insertion point at the medial malleolus groove. When the foot is in plantarflexion or dorsiflexion, a sufficiently large area and operating space can be exposed during surgery. The data regarding the exposed visualization area and virtual screws need to be combined with clinical experience for safer reduction and fixation of fracture fragments. Further validation of its intraoperative feasibility will require additional clinical research.

Abstract
Objective To summarize the surgical treatment methods for avascular necrosis of the talus. Methods The recent domestic and international literature related to avascular necrosis of the talus was extensively conducted. The pathogenesis, surgical treatment methods, and prognosis were summarized. Results The clinical symptoms of avascular necrosis of the talus at early stage are not obvious, and most patients have progressed to Ficat-Arlet stages Ⅲ-Ⅳ and require surgical treatment. Currently, surgical treatments for this disease include core decompression, vascularized bone flap transplantation, arthroplasty, and arthrodesis, etc. Early avascular necrosis of the talus can be treated conservatively, and if treatment fails, core decompression can be considered. Arthrodesis is a remedial surgery for patients with end-stage arthritis and collapse, and in cases of severe bone loss, tibiotalocalcaneal arthrodesis and bone grafting are required. Vascularized bone flap transplantation is effective and plays a role in all stages of avascular necrosis of the talus, but the appropriate donor area for the flap still needs further to be studied. Conclusion The surgical treatment and the system of treatment for different stages of avascular necrosis of the talus still need to be refined.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prosthetic substitution of the talus presents a significant challenge to the foot and ankle surgeon. The shear and compressive forces on the talus and its tenuous blood supply lead to high rates of avascular necrosis and eventual talar collapse. The purpose of this systematic review is to evaluate whether total ankle total talus replacement (TATTR) leads to improved clinical and radiographic outcomes with appropriate safety metrics in patients with a history of avascular necrosis or significant trauma. METHODS We searched the concepts of talus, prosthesis, and arthroplasty in MEDLINE (PubMed), Embase (Elsevier), CINAHL Complete (EBSCOhost), and Scopus (Elsevier) from the database's inception through March 9, 2023. Inclusion Criteria were 1) previous trauma to the talus, 2) post-traumatic arthritis to the tibiotalar joint, 3) avascular necrosis of talus, 4) multiple failed prior interventions, 5) degenerative osteoarthritis to the tibiotalar joint, and 6) inflammatory arthropathy to tibiotalar joint. Patients less than 18 years of age and manuscripts in non-English languages were excluded. RESULTS Of the 7625 references, 16 studies met the inclusion criteria, yielding data from 136 patients (139 ankles). The studies varied in design, with case reports and retrospective case series being predominant. The overall weighted average modified Coleman Methodology Score (mCMS) was 70.4 out of 100, indicating moderate flaws in study design that may be subject to various forms of bias and possible confounders. Demographics showed a diverse range of etiologies, with alumina ceramic being the primary prosthesis material. Functional scores demonstrated improvements in dorsiflexion and plantarflexion, although patient-reported outcome measures (PROs) were inconsistently reported. Complications included fractures, heterotopic ossification, prolonged wound healing, and infections. Revision details were sparsely reported. CONCLUSION TATTR is a promising treatment modality for improving short-term functional outcomes for patients with avascular necrosis or trauma-related issues. However, this systematic review underscores the need for standardized reporting, longer-term follow-ups, and further research to establish the procedure's efficacy and safety, particularly in comparison to other treatment modalities.

Abstract
Background: Central talar fractures are rare and often associated with impaired functional outcome. Despite recent advances in diagnosis and management of talus fractures, complications rates remain high and functional outcome is generally poor. This study aims to provide an overview of complication rates and functional outcome following operative treatment of talar neck and body fractures. This may help in clinical decision making by improving patients’ expectation management and tailored treatment strategies. Methods: A systematic review of the literature was conducted of studies published from January 2000 to July 2021 reporting functional outcome and/or complications following operative treatment of talar neck, body, or combined neck and body fractures. Keywords used were (Talar fracture) or (Talus fracture). Data on complication rates and functional outcome was extracted from selected articles. Results: A total of 28 articles were included in our analysis reporting 1086 operative treated talar fractures (755 neck [70%], 227 body fractures [21%], and 104 combined body and neck fractures [9%]). The mean follow-up was 48 (range 4-192) months. Complications occurred frequently with; 6% surgical site infection, 8% nonunion, 29% avascular necrosis, 64% osteoarthritis, and in 16% a secondary arthrodesis was necessary. A wide variety in functional outcome was reported; however, there seems to be a correlation between fracture classification and postoperative complications. Conclusion: Operative treatment of central talar fractures is associated with a high incidence of early and late complications and often leads to an impaired functional outcome. Standardization of talar fracture classification and scoring systems in combination with large sample-sized prospective studies are warranted to detect further predictive factors influencing tailormade treatment strategies and patient expectation management. Level of Evidence: Level III, Systematic review of case series and case-control studies.

Talar Body Fracture Treated by Hindfoot Endoscopic Reduction and Internal Fixation. Case Rep Orthop 2022; 2022:6183508. [PMID: 35615458 PMCID: PMC9126715 DOI: 10.1155/2022/6183508] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/30/2021] [Accepted: 05/05/2022] [Indexed: 11/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Background A talar body fracture is relatively rare. Surgical treatment for the fracture is generally indicated for the displaced fracture types and traditionally performed via open approaches. However, open approaches may not be able to achieve adequate exposure of the talus body owing to the difficulty in achieving reduction and fixation of the fracture. In this case report, we describe a case of talar body fracture treated by hindfoot endoscopic reduction and internal fixation. Case report. A 39-year-old man who was a carpenter complained of right hindfoot pain after he fell from a stepladder during work. Although plain radiographs of the right ankle showed no abnormal findings, noncontrast computed tomography demonstrated a fracture line from the lateral side of the posterior lateral process to the medial side of the talus body. In addition, the fracture line extended to the posterior ankle and subtalar joints, and the bone fragment was slightly displaced. We diagnosed him with the talar body fracture and performed operative treatments using hindfoot endoscopic reduction and internal fixation. At 14 weeks after the operation, he was able to return to work at the preinjury activity level without dysfunction of the ankle nor complications. Conclusion We reported a case of talar body fracture treated by hindfoot endoscopic reduction and internal fixation. In this case, the hindfoot endoscopic technique provided visualization of the fracture site with less invasiveness and increased safety, which enabled proper reduction and internal fixation of the fracture site. Therefore, the patient was able to return to work at the preinjury activity level at 14 weeks after surgery without dysfunction of the ankle nor complications. This surgical technique may be a useful option for the talar body fracture.
