Post‐traumatic missing talus: Staged allograft interposition and fusion. Should we fuse the “talo‐navicular” joint?
Abstract Complete talar dislocation—extrusion is an uncommon sequela of high‐energy trauma. When the talus is unavailable for reimplantation, a staged treatment plan with the use (a) of an antibiotic cement spacer, followed by (b) tibiotalocalcaneal fusion with bone allograft interposition, may ensu...
