Abstract
Open reduction and internal fixation of talar fractures remains challenging even for the most experience surgeons and can be associated with such complications as hindfoot varus, avascular necrosis and post-traumatic osteoarthritis. Herein, we present a case of talar fixation that developed hindfoot varus. The relevant surgical indications, technical skills, and other issues of the anatomical reconstruction with talar neck osteotomy and revision of fixation are discussed below.
