Section 1: history of creation A fracture of the ankle (top of the foot) or fracture of the neck of the talus is one of the most common skeletal injuries. It occurs in all age groups. Fractures occur more often in children during outdoor games, leading to long-term disability. Correct and timely provision of first aid, high-quality, and most importantly, timely treatment, help avoid complications and extend the patient’s life expectancy.

The causes of fractures of the talus are impacts in the area of ​​the ankle joint, falls from a height, road accidents, etc. As a result of the impact of traumatic force on the joint, extension of the foot occurs, subluxation of the talus and calcaneus, as well as disruption of the interosseous part of the clavicle from its corneal process. The injury can be isolated or combined - in some cases, rupture (tear) of the ligaments is possible.
