Fractures of The Talus—Differences Between Children and Adolescents

Abstract

Even though there is no apparent difference in the cause of the trauma leading to fractures of the talus, adolescents present with more severe fractures of the talus compared with children younger than 12 years. In addition, we did not observe persistent osteonecrosis in patients younger than 12 years old, and the outcome is favorable in most cases irrespective of the mode of treatment.
