Abstract
The purpose of this article is to report the treatment and short-term results of a combined fracture of the talus treated arthroscopically. A 29-year-old man sustained an anterolateral osteochondral grade III fracture of the talus dome associated with a coronal fracture of the body of the talus. This injury was reduced and fixed arthroscopically using cannulated screws. The patient returned to his daily style of living after 3 months time. One year later, the patient remains asymptomatic. Radiography showed neither signs of osteonecrosis nor osteoarthritis of the talus at the 1-year follow-up. Therefore, arthroscopic surgery could be an alternative treatment for this kind of talus fracture.
