Abstract
We present a retrospective clinical and radiological study of eight patients who underwent primary Blair tibiotalar arthrodesis for Hawkins' grade III fractures of the neck of talus. The average age of the patients was 23 years and the average follow-up, was 2 years. Results were good in six patients, fair in one and poor in one. It is concluded that the displaced talar fractures with late presentation are challenging to treat and Blair fusion is a reasonable procedure.
