Abstract
Although replant of the extruded talus would be preferable at the time of initial management, some patients present with a talus that had not been recovered. A series of 3 cases of the extruded talus that were reconstructed with large allograft interfaces are presented. Two of the cases had femoral head allografts and the other used morcellized cancellous allograft. Several orthobiologic substances were used in various proportions for each case. All 3 resulted in a solid union with minimal shortening of the extremity. 4.
