Non-union of Talus Fracture in a 34-Year-Old Male Managed with Open Reduction and Internal Fixation Using Cancellous Cannulated Screws: A Case Report
At follow-up, the patient showed significant clinical improvement, with radiological union observed by 3 months and full return to daily activities by 6 months. This case underscores the importance of accurate diagnosis, appropriate treatment planning, and timely surgical intervention in managing talus fractures to avoid complications, such as non-union. ORIF using cannulated cancellous screws proved to be a safe and effective treatment modality, even in delayed presentations.
