  • Title: [Therapy and results of traumatic cartilage-bone lesions of the talus (author's transl)].
    Author: Lies A, Scheuer I.
    Journal: Aktuelle Traumatol; 1982 Jan; 12(1):23-9. PubMed ID: 6122346.
    Abstract:
    Since the number of possibilities for causing injuries is great, lateral as well as medial talus-edge break-offs occur more often than diagnosed. However, by appropriately using all available diagnostic tools, it is possible to detect even these frequently discrete injuries. Fresh cartilage-bone chips of the talus should be fixed like other joint fractures primarily by screw osteosynthesis, bone-chip fixation, vicryl-sutures, or fibrin adhesives. Older cartilage-bone chips can often only be removed and the defect zone at the talus smoothed and reamed. We treated a total of 14 patients with talus-edge lesions. The therapy and results are reported in detail.
