Talar Osteonecrosis After Subchondroplasty for Acute Lateral Ligament Injuries: Case Series

Talar osteonecrosis is a well-described phenomenon following talar neck fracture, but is a rarely described complication after procedures about the foot and ankle. Here we describe the clinical course of 5 cases of talar osteonecrosis following injection of calcium phosphate into the talus (subchond...

Descripción
Sumario:Talar osteonecrosis is a well-described phenomenon following talar neck fracture, but is a rarely described complication after procedures about the foot and ankle. Here we describe the clinical course of 5 cases of talar osteonecrosis following injection of calcium phosphate into the talus (subchondroplasty) with or without acute lateral ligament repair after acute lateral ankle ligament injuries performed at an outside institution. Practitioners should be aware of this potentially devastating complication. Future research is indicated to determine the safety and efficacy of subchondroplasty for the talus. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level V, case series.
