  • Title: Varus of the talus in the ankle mortise secondary to calcaneus fracture. A case report.
    Author: Carr JB.
    Journal: Clin Orthop Relat Res; 1991 Feb; (263):206-9. PubMed ID: 1993377.
    Abstract:
    Varus displacement of the talus in the ankle mortise secondary to a calcaneus fracture was observed in a 33-year-old man. Similar to the calcaneus fracture-dislocation, the mechanism involved inferior and medial displacement of the talus into the body of the calcaneus. The patient's ankle deformity was not corrected by a lateral ankle ligament reconstruction. Correction required a distraction subtalar bone block fusion. Successful reconstruction of the hindfoot after calcaneus fractures requires a careful analysis of the pathologic lesion. In this unusual case, correction required restoration of lost hindfoot bone structure.
