Abstract

Talar extrusion is a very rare injury and is defined as talar dislocation from surrounding tibiotalar, subtalar, and talonavicular joints. It often results from high energy trauma. These injuries often have poor outcomes and serious complications including avascular necrosis, infection, and osteoarthritis. There are limited case reports and case series in the literature regarding talar extrusion injuries. In this review, we discuss the complex anatomy, diagnosis, treatment options, complications, and outcomes for patients with talar extrusion injuries.
