Talus Fracture After an Accident

Experienced Florida Broken Bone Injury Attorneys

Ankle Injury RepairThe talus is one of the most important bones that make up the ankle joint. The majority of the talus is covered with cartilage, and it serves as an important link between the leg and foot. Patients who have a talus fracture have significant ankle pain, difficulty bearing weight on the ankle and swelling around the ankle joint. This should be x-rayed immediately to determine if there is a fracture. Treatment of a talus fracture depends on the severity of the injury. If the fracture is not out of position, a cast may suffice. If the fracture is out of position, surgery will be recommended to realign the broken bones and stabilize them with screws or pins.

Talus fractures are often caused by “high energy injuries,” according to the American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society. High-energy trauma includes falling from ladders or ledges (common in construction accidents), car collisions, and other harsh impacts. Talus chips can also break off in accidents involving severe ankle sprain (common to trips and falls).
