Abstract: Avascular necrosis of talar body and osteoarthristis of ankle and subtalar joints are very common complications in fracture neck talus. Early and prompt reduction of the extruded talar body and its adequate fixation is mandatory to save the delicate blood supply and the articular cartilage. Obstacles against reduction include tight mortis, entrapped tendons requiring vigorous manipulation that leads to soft tissue insult, articular cartilage scuffing, and propagation of undisplaced cracks adding more comminuted fragments.
