Post-traumatic missing talus is a rare and severe injury that often results in poor functional outcomes, with no consensus on the optimal treatment approach as strategies vary based on injury severity. We present the case of a 44-year-old male who sustained a missing talus following a high-energy motorcycle accident. After initial wound management and application of an external fixator, the patient underwent size-matched, fresh-frozen talus allograft transplantation combined with subtalar fusion.

- Retinal vasculitis has various causes, including infections, autoimmune disorders, and sometimes the cause is unknown, making diagnosis challenging for doctors.
- Due to its complexity, patients often undergo extensive and sometimes unnecessary tests to identify the exact cause, which can delay effective treatment and vision preservation.
- The article proposes an algorithmic approach that integrates clinical assessments, imaging, lab tests, and tailored investigations to ensure timely and accurate diagnosis for targeted therapy.
Background: Roughly 30% of patients with chronic lateral ankle instability (CLAI) have long-lasting painful instability requiring surgical intervention. Ligament reconstruction with the traditional open method and using tendon allografts can provide sufficient mechanical stability for severe CLAI. Arthroscopic ligament reconstruction with tendon allograft has recently been introduced to treat CLAI.
