[Dislocations of the talus (author's transl)].

Authors analysing 31 case histories of talus fractures and following the results in 22 cases over a period of 3--12 years support the general view, that the healing of such injuries is satisfactory but partial or even total necrosis may occur. They emphasize the importance of X-ray investigation and occasional phlebography in order to clear up the state of circulation in the bone. Weight bearing should be decided in accordance with these examinations.
