Methods and Materials
Talar neck fractures occur infrequently and are associated with high complication rates. Anatomical restoration of articular congruity is important. Adequate exposure and stable internal fixation of these fractures are challenging. We investigate the use of an anterior extensile approach for exposure of these fractures and their fixation by screws introduced through the talo-navicular articulation. We also compare the quality and quantity of exposure of the talar neck obtained by this approach with the commonly described combined medial/lateral approaches.Background
