Fractures of the talus have been described for 400 years. This article reviews the history of this injury and its treatment. It also discusses the modern results and complications involved with the injury and treatment.
Traumatic injuries to the toes and metatarsals are common injuries affecting nearly every individual. Injuries may be precipitated by industrial accidents or simple bumps in the night. They can produce a wide spectrum of consequences ranging from permanent disability to asymptomatic deformities. With appropriate treatment, most individuals should have the capacity to return to their preinjury functional status.
Fractures involving the midtarsal bones are relatively uncommon. The morbidity associated with these injuries can be significant, however. Accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment can help restore midfoot function and decrease the incidence of chronic pain. Treatment should preserve the function of the talonavicular joint, maintain the relative length of the medial and lateral columns, and protect the ligaments and soft tissues until adequate healing has occurred.
