Talar head fractures are rare injuries. We present a 26-year-old man with malunion of the talar head. The displaced fracture was initially neglected. The patient was treated with osteotomy and bone grafting to improve the congruity and movement of the talonavicular joint. Three months after surgery, he returned to his pre-injury activity level with no disability.

A 17-year-old boy presented to the emergency department (ED) with pain and ankle deformity following an inversion injury during a basketball game. Radiographs of the right ankle (Fig. 1) showed loss of talonavicular alignment (white arrow) and widening of the talocalcaneal joint (black arrows). Furthermore, the midfoot was medially displaced in relation to the ankle (curved arrow). The findings...

BACKGROUND The treatment of idiopathic congenital vertical talus has traditionally consisted of manipulation and application of casts followed by extensive soft-tissue releases. However, this treatment is often followed by severe stiffness of the foot and other complications. The purpose of this study was to evaluate a new method of manipulation and cast immobilization, based on principles used...

in this paper, we analyze the effect of lack of capital investment on energy projects using game theory in the guise of cooperative games. we focus on the energy projects in the provincial level as case study during 2010-2011. therefore, we design a theoretical model of the lack of capital investment as a factor influencing the implement of energy projects. in the experimental section, we deter...
