Long-term Functional Outcomes After Modern Surgical Treatment of Talus Fractures: A 10-Year Single Center Cohort Study
In a large cohort of surgically treated talus fractures, long-term functional outcomes were better than anticipated, with a median FAAM score of 83 despite a 47% rate of posttraumatic arthritis and 30% reoperation rate. These results suggest that modern dual-approach surgical techniques may substantially improve patient prognosis compared with historical expectations.
