  Talus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Talus (which is Latin for ankle-bone) may refer to:
Talus bone (anatomy), connecting the leg to the foot.
Talus, in architecture, the slope of an embankment wall, which is thicker at the bottom than at the top, to resist the pressure of the earth behind it.

 Orthopaedic Journal
The forefoot is in rigid adduction, and the heel is in valgus.
The talus and calcaneus are in equinus, and the navicular is subluxed medially on the talar head and abuts against the anterior medial malleolus.
The vertical talus lies parallel to the anatomic axis of the tibia, and the calcaneus is in equinus angulation.

 Foot and Ankle Conditions: Fractures of the Talus   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
The goal of treating fractures of the talus is to maximize the movement of the ankle and subtalar joints, restore the anatomic dimensions of the bone and prevent arthritis of either of the above joints.
One of the problems commonly associated with certain severe fractures of the talus is that the blood circulation to this bone is damaged, leading to partial death of the bone (called avascular necrosis).
Most of the talus is white, the shape of the talus has changed, since it has collapsed, and there is very little cartilage space left in either the ankle or the subtalar joints, indicating severe arthritis.

 Medcyclopaedia - Talus
The talus is one of three structures forming a ring whose integrity is essential for stability of the ankle joint.
The talus is second only to the calcaneus as a site of fracture in the tarsal bones; avulsion fractures predominate, especially in the superior surface of the talar neck and the lateral, medial, and posterior aspects of the body.
Subluxations and dislocations of the talus generally occur in association with fractures of the bone and usually are classified as subtalar (peritalar) dislocations and total talar dislocations.

 OSTEOCHONDRITIS DISSECANS - TALUS
Osteochondritis dissecans is an injury to the talus bone of the ankle joint.
It is sometimes also known as an osteochondral fracture of the talus, chip fractureof the articular surface or a chondral fracture of the talus.
When the ankle is twisted, and the talus impacts the tibia or fibula, the talar articular surface may be merely bruised, or a more serious injury may occur.

 Injuries of the Talus - Wheeless' Textbook of Orthopaedics
- talus is the highest portion of the dome, forms the joint w/ tibia and fibula, is supported by the other tarsal bones,
- dome of the talus is trapezoidal in shape, and its anterior surface is an average of 2.5 mm (range 0-6 mm) wider than posterior surface;
- multiple articular facets and lack of muscular attachments are evidence of intercalary role of the talus in connecting the leg to the foot;

 HSS - Fracture of the Talus   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
The talus (TAY-lus) is a small bone that sits between the heel bone (calcaneus) and the two bones of the lower leg (tibia and fibula).
Where the talus meets the bones of the foot, it forms the subtalar joint, which is important for walking on uneven ground.
The talus is an important connector between the foot and the leg and body, helping to transfer weight and pressure forces across the ankle joint.

 ALGIFIC (COLD-AIR PRODUCING) TALUS AT ICE MOUNTAIN, WEST VIRGINIA, USA: STRUCTURE AND DYNAMICS OF A RARE CENTRAL ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Talus morphology is unusual in that a general concave profile has been undercut by North River, giving a steep convex profile for the lower 30 m of the slope.
The steeper lower talus is mostly vegetated, with a discontinuous organic mat broken by 25-50 cold-air vents.
Warm air may rise out of the upper and middle talus, but there is insufficient vent surface area to allow either complete drainage of cold air from the talus or entry of warm air rising from the valley.

This is the typical appearance of an osteochondral injury of the talus.
The treatment for an osteochondral defect of the talus is extremely varied and depends on the size of the defect and the extent of bone and cartilage loss.
If the defect in the talus is significant, the ankle may need to be fused to eliminate the pain.

Congenital vertical talus (CVT) is an uncommon disorder of the foot manifested as a rigid rockerbottom flatfoot.
Pathophysiology: The hallmark of the deformity is an irreducible and rigid dorsal dislocation of the navicular on the talus.
Avascular necrosis (AVN) of the talus is a unique complication of CVT surgery that was more often reported in the older literature and was associated with the 2-stage release and extensive surgery.

Fractures of the body of the talus are further subdivided based on whether they traverse the main portion of the body or are fractures involving the talar dome, lateral process, or posterior process.
The talus articulates superiorly with the tibia, medially and laterally with the medial and lateral malleoli respectively, inferiorly with the calcaneus, and anteriorly with the navicular.
The fracture of the talus, existing purely in the sagittal plane, is not visible on the lateral radiograph.
