Avascular Necrosis of the Talus in Juveniles

Takatomo Mine

Avascular necrosis of the talus after severe ankle injury is well known. Avascular necrosis of talus is extremely rare in juveniles. However, it has been controversial whether the incidence of AVN after fracture of talus is higher in adult than in juveniles. It is possible that the immature talus can be more susceptible to circulatory. As treatment of avascular necrosis of the talus, non-operative treatment could be considered in juveniles. Prolonged non weight bearing might not be necessary for avascular necrosis of the talus.
