Abstract
We present the case of a 39-year-old man who sustained an open talar fracture of the right lower extremity and a supracondylar traumatic amputation of the left lower extremity. We used osteochondral chips from the femoral condyles of the amputated extremity as an autologous graft to reconstruct the talus and fixated these with Barouk screws. Two years postsurgery, the patient was pain free and without functional limitations, and his American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society Scale score was 92, despite showing radiographic evidence of ankle joint space narrowing. 4.
