Abstract
A review of children with talar injuries treated at the Winnipeg Children's Hospital yielded 12 patients that had been treated for fractures of the neck of the talus between 1960 and 1978, inclusive. Three developed avascular necrosis of the body of the talus; two of these had their fractures recognized only after avascular necrosis had become radiologically evident. The children ranged in age from 1 year 7 months to 13 years 11 months at the time of the injury. Fracture of the neck of the talus does occur in children and may be associated with avascular necrosis of the body. This injury should be considered and the talus should be examined in all children sustaining trauma secondary to falls from a height or motor vehicle trauma.
