Article Synopsis
- - Talar avascular necrosis (AVN) often develops after severe talar neck fractures, with early detection being vital to prevent serious damage; conditions like diabetes and systemic lupus can contribute to AVN risk.
- - Initial stages of AVN (I-II) can often be treated non-surgically, while advanced stages (III-IV) may require more invasive procedures like hindfoot arthrodesis or total talar replacement (TTR).
- - The rise of advanced prosthetics through 3D printing is improving the success rate of TTR, which offers benefits like reduced pain, fewer complications, and preservation of limb length compared to traditional joint-sacrificing procedures.
