Talar fracture
Description[edit | edit source]
A talar fracture is a break in the continuity of one of the bones that forms the ankle; the talus.This type of fracture often occurs during a high-energy event, such as a car collision or a high-velocity fall. Because the talus is important for ankle movement, a fracture often results in significant loss of motion and function. In addition, a talus fracture that does not heal properly can lead to serious complications, including chronic pain.[1]
