Talar fractures: three case studies.

Three case studies of fractures are presented that demonstrate the potential morbidity that these injuries can cause as well as the acceptable outcomes if treated appropriately. Two of the cases are talar fracture dislocations; the third is an osteochondral fracture of the talus. The importance of early treatment with open reduction and internal fixation is demonstrated. Success following surgical intervention in a nonhealed osteochondral fracture of the talus is also demonstrated.

Lesser metatarsalgia evaluation and treatment.

Anatomic and biomechanical aspects of the complex topic of metatarsalgia are reviewed. Cause is classified as structural, functional, and a combination of both. Evaluation of the lesion symptom complex is presented and light is shed on reasons for complications after metatarsal osteotomy. Ways to avoid complications are also discussed. The oblique osteotomy with rigid fixation performed at the distal surgical neck or the proximal metaphysis is recommended.
