Catastrophic Talar Bone Loss from High Velocity Trauma Treated with Structural Tricorticate Fibula Autograft, Compression Frame and Midfoot Distraction Arthroplasty
Journal Title: Journal of Clinical Medical Research - Year 2024, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Osteonecrosis is caused by the interruption of subchondral blood supply and can affect various bones in the human body. This case study details the treatment of a 37-year-old male with comminuted foot fractures, post-traumatic osteonecrosis, and previous surgeries who regained full weight-bearing ability and returned to work duties through a variety of techniques. Following the diagnosis of the disease through MRI scans, a surgical plan was devised for the patient: Pan-Talar Fusion Anterior Plate Reflect Anterior Flap Fibula Structural Autograft, lateral approach Complex frame compress ankle and distract mid-foot Distraction arthroplasty of midfoot The patient successfully achieved full weight-bearing and returned to work 11 months post-surgery. X-rays confirmed progressive bone healing and no hardware complications. This case demonstrates a successful treatment approach for complex hindfoot fractures, enabling full weight-bearing and return to work. Further research is needed to explore long-term outcomes and potential improvements in the surgical technique.
