Talectomy for osteoporotic and neuropathic feet: 7 cases followed for 2-3 years

Abstract

I modified a technique of talectomy reported previously for osteoporotic cases. A larger medial malleolar fragment is displaced laterally to prevent the bone from being splintered during fixation. 2 Hawkins Group III fracture-dislocations of the talus and 4 equinovarus feet were successfully treated by this technique
