Abstract

Open total talar dislocations are rare but potentially catastrophic injuries of the hindfoot. Successful management involves following the principles of open fracture management—thorough debridement, reduction, stabilization, and wound management. We detail our surgical technique in managing such a case, with specific tips on each step that may help others in the management of such cases.
