Category: Ankle; Hindfoot; Trauma Introduction/Purpose: Open talar dislocations with complete or partial extrusion of the talus are rare, high energy injuries associated with major complications including infection, avascular necrosis and post-traumatic arthritis. These are debilitating injuries with significant long-term effects including avascula...

Category: Ankle; Sports Introduction/Purpose: Bone marrow edema (BME) appears as increased interstitial fluid accumulation within the bone marrow on magnetic resonance images (MRI). Asymptomatic BME has been found incidentally and described in competitive athletes, long- distance runners, and patients with altered biomechanics where the true etiolo...

Category: Ankle; Hindfoot; Trauma; Other Introduction/Purpose: Late stage talar avascular necrosis (AVN) results in devascularization of the talus with osteonecrosis, subchondral collapse, talus fracturing, loss of talar height and declination, and adjacent joint arthritis. This results in significant disability for patients with limited treatment ...

Category: Ankle; Ankle Arthritis Introduction/Purpose: The indications for both total talus replacement (TTR) and total ankle replacement (TAR) are expanding. Combined total ankle-total talus (combined TAR) is a novel treatment option for patients with end-stage ankle arthritis and talar avascular necrosis (AVN) and patients with a prior TAR and ta...

BackgroundTalar cartilage injury is a kind of disease that causes long-term and chronic pain of ankle joint. Autologous osteochondral transplantation has been viewed as an alternative choice for treating these lesions, but donor-site morbidity has limited its application. This study aimed to analyze the efficacy of iliac bone autografting for Heppl...

The vascular anatomy of the talus attracts intense research being not always easy to understand. The high intraosseous variability together with the anatomical characteristics makes some areas of the talus more prone to vascular compromise. The aim of this study is to describe the vascularization of the talus, both intraosseous and extraosseous. Fr...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the second-look arthroscopic evaluation after osteochondral autogenous transfer (OAT) for osteochondral lesion of the talar dome (OLT) with the criteria of the International Cartilage Repair Society (ICRS). Ten patients (twelve ankles) with OLT underwent OAT with osteotomy of the medial malleolus. Clinic...
Highlights The Cro-Magnon human remains include 17 pedal bones, including 9 tarsals, 7 metatarsals and a phalanx. The pedal remains can be grouped into three individuals, corresponding to the Alpha, Beta and Gamma Cro-Magnon postcranial individuals. The pedal length proportions and articular morphology are unexceptional for Late Pleistocene a...

The analysis of osteochondral lesions of talus (OLT) is currently mostly descriptive, not permitting an understanding of the different nosological frameworks of these lesions. Better knowledge of the characteristics of patients with OLT should make it possible to optimize the surgical indications and anticipate the associated lesions, which should ...

Rocky coastal regions are often inaccessible due to steep slopes and high relief. Remotely sensed data can, therefore, be useful, but they often have low spatial and temporal resolution and, in the case of airborne LiDAR, if not publically available, are costly to obtain. This paper reports on the use of high-resolution images from unmanned aerial ...
