A novel method using bone peg fixation for acute osteochondral fracture of the talus: a surgical technique.
Archives of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery 2018 November 12
INTRODUCTION: The osteochondral fracture of the talus is an uncommon condition, therefore, there are controversies for the optimal treatment. We report a novel surgical technique of bone peg fixation for osteochondral fracture of the talus.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: We report two cases that underwent bone peg fixation for the acute osteochondral fractures of talus. Clinical and radiographic evaluations were performed at the last follow-up.
RESULTS: At the last follow-up, mean ROM of ankle joint was 50° (range 45°-55°). Additionally, mean VAS and AOFAS score were 0 and 100 at the last follow-up, respectively. All patients obtained bone union without complication at the last follow-up radiographs.
CONCLUSIONS: This case study shows good clinical and radiographic results with autologous bone peg fixation in patients with acute osteochondral fractures of the talus.
LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: V, expert opinion.
