Objective: To explore clinical effect of treatment of fractures of the talar neck with hollow compression screw via inner malleolus tomy approach.
Methods: Twelve patients with fractures of the talar neck included 7 males and 5 females with a mean age of 38 years (reaging from 20 to 56 years). According to the Hawkins classification, 8 cases were type II and 4 cases were type II. Twelve patients were treated with hollow compression screw via inner malleolustomy approach.
Results: All the patients were followed up for 1 year to 6 years and 8 months (average 4 years and 5 months), all the fractures were bony union. The mean Hawkins score was excellent in 5 cases, good in 5 cases, fair in 1 case and poor in 1 case.
Conclusion: It is a good method to treat the fractures of the talar neck with hollow compression screw via inner malleolus tomy approach.

The research aims to investigate the mechanical response of footfalls at different velocities to understand the mechanism of heel injury and provide a scientific basis for the prevention and treatment of heel fractures. A three-dimensional solid model of foot drop was constructed using anatomical structures segmented from medical CT scans, including bone, cartilage, ligaments, plantar fascia, and soft tissues, and the impact velocities of the foot were set to be 2 m/s, 4 m/s, 6 m/s, 8 m/s, and 10 m/s. Explicit kinetic analysis methods were used to investigate the mechanical response of the foot landing with different speeds to explore the damage mechanism of heel bone at different impact velocities.

Article Synopsis
- SER4a ankle fractures involve intricate treatment challenges due to complications with the medial clear space, focusing on quantifying joint parameters through weightbearing CT scans.
- Ten patients with isolated Weber B fibula fractures were studied, revealing consistent abnormal measurements in the medial clear space and differences in rotation and translation of the injured ankle.
- While joint contact area appeared unchanged between injured and uninjured ankles, significant increases in external rotation and lateral translation were noted, leaving clinical implications of these findings still unclear.

Osteochondral lesions of the talus are chondral lesions affecting the subchondral bone mostly due to acute ankle trauma, including either sprains or fractures. After failure of conservative treatment, operative treatment is necessary, with different surgical techniques described in the literature. We describe a single-step osteochondral autograft transfer to access the medial talar dome lesion that avoids the need for a medial malleolar osteotomy and therefore eliminates morbidity while reducing operative time.

Background: The aim of this study was to estimate the nationwide incidence of talus fractures (per 100 000 person-years) and to determine the incidence of operative treatment in the Finnish population.
Methods: Based on Finnish Care Register for Health Care data, all patients 18 years and older admitted to hospital with talar fractures between 1997 and 2020 were included.
Results: During the 24-year study period, 5247 patients with primary or secondary diagnoses of talar fracture were identified.
Allograft Bone Screw in a Comminuted Hawkins III Talar Neck Fracture: Case Report.

Department of Orthopaedics and Trauma, Medical University of Graz, 8036 Graz, Austria.
Talar neck fractures are complex injuries that become particularly challenging when accompanied by bone loss or comminution. This case report introduces the use of an allograft bone screw as a novel method for bridging lateral comminution at the talar neck, providing structural support and promoting bone regeneration. : A 20-year-old male sustained a comminuted talar neck fracture with subtalar and tibiotalar dislocation after a bouldering fall.
