ABSTRACT

Enucleations of the talus are rare and serious traumatic injuries. They have a poor functional prognosis since they are complicated, in the majority of cases, by osteonecrosis of the talus. We report a case of anteromedial enucleation of the open right talus type II of Cauchoix in a young adult, 27 years old, following a work accident, by indirect mechanism. The patient benefited urgently from a reduction in dislocation by external maneuvers with repair of the capsuloligament elements. The slope was stabilized with a transplant foot nail. After 1 year of follow-up, the ankle was painless, stable and of satisfactory mobility. Without radiological signs of necrosis.
