We present a review of the literature on classification and treatment of osteochondral defects of the talus. We report the case of an isolated Berndt and Harty grade II lesion treated with a fresh osteochondral allograft. We believe that fresh allograft osteochondral grafting of the talus is an excellent technique for symptomatic Berndt and Harty grade II or higher lesion of the talus without s...

purpose this study was performed to introduce and evaluate the potential of kinematic magnetic resonance imaging (kmri) using a high-field open-magnet magnetic resonance (mr) system. methods we attempted to perform kmri of healthy volunteers’ lumbar spine and knee in the lateral position and ankle in the supine position utilizing the superconducting, horizontally opened, 1.2 t mr system (oasis,...

The introduction of biplane fluoroscopy has created the ability to evaluate in vivo motion, enabling six degree-of-freedom measurement tibiotalar and subtalar joints. Although International Society Biomechanics defines a standard method assigning local coordinate systems for ankle joint complex, standards joints are lacking. objective this systematic review was summarize appraise existing liter...

A carbon black transference technique was used to determine the contact area in twenty-three dissected tibiotalar articulations, with the talus in neutral position and displaced one, two, four, and six millimeters laterally. The greatest reduction in contact area occurred during the initial one millimeter of lateral displacement, the average reduction being 42 per cent. With further lateral dis...

Background: Talus is the second largest tarsal bone with unique importance regarding its location and anatomy . It an osseous link between foot leg has got a pivotal role in overall function three important articulations at tibiotalar , talocalcaneal talonavicular joint divided into body neck posterior facets. Almost 70% surface of talus covered articular cartilage Its blood supply predominantl...

UNLABELLED Boden et al. suggested syndesmosis fixation was not necessary in distal pronation external rotation (PER) ankle fractures if rigid bimalleolar fracture fixation is achieved and was not necessary with deltoid ligament injury if the fibular fracture is no higher than 4.5 cm of the tibiotalar joint. We asked whether height of the fibular fracture with or without medial stability predict...
