Dr.Rajendra Shewale, Dr.Abhishek Shinde, Dr.Abhishek Chaturvedi, Dr. Jay Ganatra, Dr. Meet Udani

Abstract


INTRODUCTION
The body weight is transferred to the foot by the talus which Is
vulnerable to injuries because of absence of muscular
attachments the shape of the talus and its strong ligaments
supports hold it in the ankle mortise. Total talar dislocation
(dislocation of tibia talar, subtalar, talonavicular joints) with or
without accompanying fracture is extremely rare type of
injury. Total talar dislocation treatment is subject to
complications such as avascular necrosis, osteoarthritis and
infection due to limited talar blood supply and frequency of
open injury its blood supply is provided by dorsalis pedis
artery peroneal arteries tarsal canal and sinus arteries and
deltoid artery.
