“…Frequently described complications are avascular necrosis, posttraumatic subtalar arthrosis, delayed union, nonunion, impingement syndromes, and tarsal tunnel syndrome. [1][2][3][5][6][7]15 Because this is a case series with a low case number, we can only describe the characteristics of these types of peripheral talar fractures. Further research is required with large patient numbers to draw conclusions about a standard treatment.…”

“…Not much is written about different peripheral extra-articular talar fractures. 4,5,9,10 Peripheral talar fractures include lateral process fractures, posteromedial talar body fractures, and talar head fractures. Because the talus contributes to 3 joints of the foot and up to 65% of the talar surface is covered by articular cartilage, the majority of the reported talar fractures are of an intra-articular nature.…”

“…Currently, the most common classification of talar fractures is into fractures of the head, the neck, and the corpus from which the posterior and lateral process emanate. 2,4,5 Alternatively, they are divided into peripheral and central fractures. Neck and corpus fractures are considered central injuries, whereas the process fractures are deemed peripheral fractures.…”

“…Type II fractures are nondisplaced talar neck and body fractures, type III fractures are displaced fractures of the talar neck and body, and type IV fractures are characterized by proximal talar neck fractures with corpus tali dislocated out of the intermalleolar space or comminuted fractures. 25 Sneppen et al 37 classified talar body fractures into 6 types: type A compression fracture, type B coronal shearing fracture, type C sagittal shearing fracture, type D fracture of the posterior process, type E fracture of the lateral process, and type F crush fracture.…”

Background: Central talar fractures are rare and often associated with impaired functional outcome. Despite recent advances in diagnosis and management of talus fractures, complications rates remain high and functional outcome is generally poor. This study aims to provide an overview of complication rates and functional outcome following operative treatment of talar neck and body fractures. This may help in clinical decision making by improving patients’ expectation management and tailored treatment strategies. Methods: A systematic review of the literature was conducted of studies published from January 2000 to July 2021 reporting functional outcome and/or complications following operative treatment of talar neck, body, or combined neck and body fractures. Keywords used were (Talar fracture) or (Talus fracture). Data on complication rates and functional outcome was extracted from selected articles. Results: A total of 28 articles were included in our analysis reporting 1086 operative treated talar fractures (755 neck [70%], 227 body fractures [21%], and 104 combined body and neck fractures [9%]). The mean follow-up was 48 (range 4-192) months. Complications occurred frequently with; 6% surgical site infection, 8% nonunion, 29% avascular necrosis, 64% osteoarthritis, and in 16% a secondary arthrodesis was necessary. A wide variety in functional outcome was reported; however, there seems to be a correlation between fracture classification and postoperative complications. Conclusion: Operative treatment of central talar fractures is associated with a high incidence of early and late complications and often leads to an impaired functional outcome. Standardization of talar fracture classification and scoring systems in combination with large sample-sized prospective studies are warranted to detect further predictive factors influencing tailormade treatment strategies and patient expectation management. Level of Evidence: Level III, Systematic review of case series and case-control studies.
