ABSTRACT
Enucleation of the talus is a rare but the most serious traumatic lesion of the posterior tarsus, representing in the literature 2 to 10% of talar trauma. The talus loses all its connections with the tibia, the scaphoid and the calcaneus; vascularization is completely interrupted. The rarity of this lesion explains why the published studies are few and relate to a relatively small number of cases. Indeed, less than 80 cases of pure enucleation of the talus have been reported in the literature, three quarters of them are open.
