Talus Fractures: Assessment, Treatment & Recovery
Talus fractures can affect the ankle and hindfoot and may require careful assessment because blood supply and joint surfaces are important to recovery.
What we assess and consider
Urgent clinical assessment and imaging, sometimes CT; treatment is selected according to displacement, joint involvement and associated injuries; close follow-up is important.
Common reasons for assessment
- Deep ankle pain after high-energy injury
- Swelling and difficulty bearing weight
