  • Title: Reduction of irreducible Hawkins III talar neck fracture by means of a medial malleolar osteotomy: a report of three cases with a 4-year mean follow-up.
    Author: Gonzalez A, Stern R, Assal M.
    Journal: J Orthop Trauma; 2011 May; 25(5):e47-50. PubMed ID: 21464743.
    Abstract:
    We report three cases of a closed Hawkins III talar neck fracture in which the posteromedially dislocated talar body was irreducible even with combined anteromedial and anterolateral approaches. Our intraoperative solution was to proceed with a medial malleolar osteotomy, which resulted in an easy reduction. The combined incisions provided excellent exposure for anatomic reduction and rigid internal fixation. At a mean follow-up of 4 years, all fractures had healed with no evidence of avascular necrosis or talar dome collapse.
