The majority of talar body fractures represent avulsive injuries or are associated with obvious displacement or dislocation. Minimally displaced, nonavulsive fractures of the talar body are rare and can be difficult to recognize. Delay in diagnosis and therapy may be associated with an increased risk of osteonecrosis, malunion, secondary osteoarthritis, and other complications. We present two cases of nondisplaced talar body fractures with delay in diagnosis and stress the importance of recognizing these fractures, given the appropriate mechanism of injury.

Talus Osteonecrosis after Chemotherapy: A Case Report.
Rev Bras Ortop (Sao Paulo)
November 2024
Serviço de Ortopedia e Traumatologia, Hospital das Clínicas Samuel Libânio (HCSL), UNIVÁS, Pouso Alegre, MG, Brasil.
This paper described a case of talus osteonecrosis in a 13-year-old female with a diagnosis of T-type acute lymphocytic leukemia, who underwent chemotherapy and treatment with glucocorticoids, attended at the Orthopedics and Traumatology Sector of our institution. After approximately six months of treatment, the patient began to complain of sporadic pain in her left ankle with progressive worsening. Bone scintigraphy and magnetic resonance imaging of the ankles showed the presence of avascular osteonecrosis of the bilateral talar body.

Orthop J Sports Med
December 2024
Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Beijing Chaoyang Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, China.
Background: Approximately 20% of acute ankle sprains progress to chronic lateral ankle instability (CLAI), requiring surgical intervention. When only the anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) is ruptured, it is controversial whether to perform arthroscopic inferior extensor retinacular (IER) reinforcement.
Purpose: To assess the postoperative outcomes of IER reinforcement versus nonreinforcement in arthroscopic treatment of CLAI with ATFL-only injury.
Effect of Nanosecond Laser Texturization on Tribological Behavior of AISI 321 Stainless Steel.
Materials (Basel)
November 2024
Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Poznań University of Technology, Piotrowo 3, 61-138 Poznań, Poland.
Article Synopsis
- This study examines how laser surface modifications can improve wear resistance, hardness, and friction in both dry and lubricated conditions.
- The research uses nanosecond pulsed laser treatment to create different surface structures on steel, aiming to increase wear resistance and decrease the coefficient of friction (COF).
- Findings suggest that laser texturing enhances hardness, modifies surface wettability, reduces COF, and promotes better lubrication retention, making it a beneficial technique for industries needing durable materials.
Ballistic talus fractures: a retrospective analysis.
Arch Orthop Trauma Surg
December 2024
Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, St. Louis, USA.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates ballistic talus fractures, which are challenging to treat, highlighting the need for more research on these injuries.
- A retrospective analysis included 21 patients with talus fractures, revealing that over half were displaced and many had additional injuries to the foot and ankle.
- The findings indicated that surgical treatment improved the talar declination angle for those fractures but had notable complications, with a 29% complication rate, including cases of avascular necrosis.
Long-Term Results after Autologous Matrix-Induced Chondrogenesis for Osteochondral Lesions of the Talus: A 10-Year Cohort Study.
Cartilage
December 2024
Center for Foot and Ankle Surgery, Schön Klinik München Harlaching-FIFA Medical Centre of Excellence, Munich, Germany.
Objective: A gold standard surgical treatment for osteochondral lesions (OCLs) of the talus still needs to be established. Still, autologous matrix-induced chondrogenesis (AMIC) is a commonly applied 1-stage procedure that has achieved good short- and mid-term results. The present cohort study aimed to assess whether the long-term, 10-year results can confirm the previous findings.
