Simultaneous Bilateral Fracture Unilateral Dislocation of the Talus .
Journal of the American Podiatric Medical Association 2016 September 3
In this study, we present the case of a 42-year-old man with a fracture and dislocation of the left talus neck, and a fracture of the right talus neck due to a fall. This kind of fracture can be considered rare, and thus few cases have been reported. Fracture fixation was provided through cannulated screws on either side. Splints were removed after 6 weeks, and passive/active joint movement exercises were started. The patient was able to walk with partial weightbearing at 2 months and with full weightbearing at 3 months. The magnetic resonance imaging scan at 1 year postoperatively revealed the presence of avascular necrosis on the left, whereas it did not exist on the right. Range of motion in both of the ankles was satisfactory. The patient expressed that he was able to perform daily activities without any difficulty and run for 30 minutes without pain. In this case report, in addition to providing a review of the relevant literature on the subject, we set out to show the importance of rigid fixation and early mobilization in these rare injuries.
