A 16 years old male comes to ER after RTA since one month with swelling of right foot, treated as sprain of ankle because x-ray for right ankle seemed normal. On follow-up, discovered fracture of neck of right talus. What is the best treatment for this case? Closed reduction or ORIF?


Similar cases



18 yo. Inversion injury to right ankle. Obvious anterior talofibular ligament swelling.



App won't let me post all 4 pics so this is going to be in two posts: 27YoF Hx of fall 1 week ago affecting ankles bilaterally. Pain, swelling, tenderness in both with slight bruising. Right ankle has tingling. What do you see? Dx? Tx?



23 YOF involved in a head on MVC. Deformities to both ankles. The right ankle was open and dislocated.



Fracture/dislocation of right lower leg/ankle from slipping on wet grass. Injury reduced before X-ray could be taken
