Hillslope processes and mass movement are key issues in the analysis evaluation of geological disasters mountainous regions. A rockfall-dominated talus slope exhibits a typical outcrop–talus system as product detached boulders rock fragments. The Zongling rockfall zone is one most active systems southwest China, it provides representative case study on assessment hazards at base slopes. In this...

BACKGROUND Treatment of osteonecrosis of the talus is challenging. Total talar replacement has the potential to restore the function of the ankle joint without an associated leg-length discrepancy. The purpose of the present study was to investigate postoperative function and pain after total talar replacement in patients with osteonecrosis of the talus. METHODS Fifty-five ankles in fifty-one...

We present a 65-year-old man with osteosarcoma of the talus that was misdiagnosed as osteoarthritis. The patient eventually underwent below-knee amputation and adjuvant chemotherapy.

A 25 year old, who had sustained a fracture of the entire posterior process of the talus, is presented. THe fracture was successfully managed conservatively.

A 31-year-old male was diagnosed with osteoblastic osteosarcoma of the talus. Limb-salvage surgery for talar performed by replacing intact talus a 3D-printed prosthesis made from medical-grade titanium. The had 3 tunnels simulating ligaments around At last follow-up, functional and clinical outcomes were excellent. Our patient achieved 93% restoration Musculoskeletal Tumor Society score as well...

Calcaneum, the largest tarsal bone forms joint with Talus (Talocalcaneal joint). The superior surface of calcaneum shows three facets for talus. Patterns are variable in different populations. Knowledge is important orthopaedic surgeons correction foot deformities, as facet number an factor subtalar stability and formation osteophytes osteoarthritis. objective present study was to identify patt...

The structural changes that a function may bring about like morphological differences observed between bones of different populations are of much interest. Squatting is a good example of such behaviour/function producing skeletal markers on the bones. The squatting position puts strong pressure and traction forces on the knee and ankle joints, producing specific bone markers that reflect the re...

BACKGROUND Identifying factors associated with favorable or unfavorable outcomes would provide patients with accurate expectations of the arthroscopic marrow stimulation techniques. PURPOSE To investigate the prognostic significance and optimal measures of defect size in osteochondral lesion of the talus as treated with arthroscopy. HYPOTHESIS A critical, or threshold, defect size may exist...
