Posteromedial talar body fractures are a rare form of talus fracture that involves the tibiotalar and subtalar joints. In cases of displaced injuries, open reduction and internal fixation is typically recommended to minimize the risk of instability and post-traumatic osteoarthritis. This video presents a case of a posteromedial talar body fracture and highlights the technique for operative fixation through a posteromedial approach. Multiple methods to obtain reduction are discussed, and considerations with implant placement are described. The indications for surgical intervention are reviewed, and published outcomes following operative and nonoperative management of these injuries are presented.

Endoscopic Flexor Hallucis Longus Tendon Transfer for the Treatment of Chronic Achilles Tendon Defects.
JBJS Essent Surg Tech
January 2025
The Ohio State University College of Medicine, Columbus, Ohio.
Background: An all-inside endoscopic flexor hallucis longus (FHL) tendon transfer is indicated for the treatment of chronic, full-thickness Achilles tendon defects. The aim of this procedure is to restore function of the gastrocnemius-soleus complex while avoiding the wound complications associated with open procedures.
Description: This procedure can be performed through 2 endoscopic portals, a posteromedial portal (the working portal) and a posterolateral portal (the visualization portal).

Article Synopsis
- Posterior talar body fractures are difficult to treat surgically, particularly when the articular surface is involved, necessitating precise anatomical reduction.
- The medial malleolus osteotomy (MMO) offers limited access and may harm the articular cartilage, while the posteromedial approach (PMA) provides better visibility and access to the entire posterior talus for effective treatment.
- This article discusses the PMA technique and presents outcomes from a large series of patients who experienced posterior talar body fractures managed with this method.
Quantitative analysis of sagittal curvatures of the tibial plafond by computed tomography.
Quant Imaging Med Surg
July 2024
Academy for Engineering and Technology, Fudan University, Shanghai, China.
Background: Although the talar morphology has been well understood, studies on the corresponding tibial plafond are still lacking. Based on computed tomography (CT) data, this quantitative study divided the tibial plafond into anterior and posterior regions on five sagittal sections. The objectives of this study were (I) to determine whether the sagittal curvatures of the tibial plafond can be quantitatively and accurately described using the double-diameter method; (II) to compare the difference between the anterior and posterior diameters on five sagittal sections.

Background: To analyze the curvature characteristics of the talus trochlea in people from northern China in different sex and age groups.
Methods: Computed tomography scanning data of talus from 61 specimens were collected and constructed as a three-dimensional model by Materialise's Interactive Medical Image Control System(MIMICS) software, anteromedial(AM), posteromedial(PM), anterolateral(AL), and posterolateral(PL) edge, anterior edge of medial trochlea, posterior edge of medial trochlea and anterior edge of lateral trochlea were defined according to the anatomical landmarks on trochlear surface. The curvature radii for different areas were measured using the fitting radius and measure module.

Objective: The talus is an important component in the ankle, and its treatment after injury is crucial. However, complications and adverse events due to incomplete traditional classifications may still occur, and these classifications fail to analyze the patterns and distribution of fractures from a three-dimensional perspective. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to analyze the location and distribution of fracture lines in different types of talus fractures using three-dimensional (3D) and heat mapping techniques.
