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
  • Injury involving the ankle or hindfoot joint surface
Recovery and next steps: Healing and weight-bearing timelines vary. Follow the treating team’s immobilisation and follow-up instructions to reduce the risk of complications. Treatment decisions are made after an individual clinical assessment; not every patient needs surgery.
