CT of talar neck and body fractures

The CT images using sagittal (A) and coronal (B) reconstructions show a fracture through the neck of the talus (arrowhead) with a comminuted component through the medial, posterior, and inferior aspects of the body of the talus, affecting the posterior calcaneal articulating surface (dashed arrow). A transverse fracture of the distal fibula is also present (arrow). The fracture components are in near anatomic alignment. Surgical referral is indicated because there are multiple fractures and an increased risk of complications.
