ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
The long-term outcome of talus fractures is not yet sufficiently favorable despite improved resources and growing experience. With increasing fracture severity, the complication rate increases. This study aimed to evaluate the mid-to-long-term clinical and radiologic outcomes using the scoring system and imaging archive in patients with talus fractures who were surgically treated in our hospital. PATIENTS ANDMETHODS:
The mid- to long-term outcomes of patients with talus fractures admitted to Aydin Adnan Menderes University Faculty of Medicine Hospital between January 2010 and December 2020 and treated surgically were analyzed using satisfaction and functional scoring systems.RESULTS:
Demographic data of the patients enrolled in our study indicated that talus fractures primarily developed in young males (p<0.05). The scores obtained from American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) scoring were consistent with patients' long-term consequences, such as avascular necrosis and post-traumatic arthritis (p<0.05). The rates of avascular necrosis and post-traumatic arthritis were lower, whereas AOFAS scores were higher in patients in whom the reduction quality was within the exact anatomical limits (p<0.05). The Hawkins sign had a positive predictive significance in patients free of avascular necrosis (p<0.05). Higher AOFAS scores were observed in patients treated with a single surgical incision (p<0.05). The timing of the surgery did not influence the results (p>0.05).CONCLUSIONS:
The outcomes of patients treated surgically for talus fracture depended on the quality of reduction. In the mid-to-long term, the satisfaction scores of our patients with talus fractures who had undergone surgical treatment were rated as moderate.
