Reimplantation of a completely extruded talus 8 days following injury: a case report.

We present the case of a 28-year-old female with 45 months follow-up after reimplantation of a completely extruded talus 8 days following the injury. The extruded talus was recovered at the site of the motor vehicle accident, where it had been embedded in the wreckage and subsequently transported to hospital 3 hours later. Thereafter, the talus was washed in an iodine solution for 5 hours and frozen for a period of 8 days at -80 °C, after which reimplantation surgery was undertaken.

Open total talus dislocation: clinical and functional outcomes: a case series.

Background: This case series reviews open total talar dislocations, the subsequent development of infection and avascular necrosis of the talar dome, and the clinical and functional outcomes associated with this injury. Open total talar dislocation is a relatively rare but debilitating injury. Techniques for managing such injuries include reimplantation of an extruded talus, open reduction internal fixation, and fusion (immediate or delayed).
