Pure and Insulated External Luxation of Astragalus: Case Report
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 9
Abstract
Abstract:Enucleations of the talus are rare and serious traumatic lesions. They are of poor functional prognosis since they are complicated, in the majority of the cases, of osteonecrosis of the slope. We report a case of anterolateral enucleation of the right talus without cutaneous lesion in a 40 year old adult, following a domestic accident, by indirect mechanism. The patient has benefited from an open reduction with capsulo-ligament repair. The astragalus been stabilized by three pins. At a follow-up of 6 months, the right ankle was painless, stable and has satisfactory mobility: 10̊ of dorsal flexion and 30̊ of plantar flexion. Standard radiography showed a moderate narrowing of the anterior talo-crural joint space and the posterior subtalar joint.
