Symptoms of talus fracture

summary

Talus fracture and dislocation are common injuries of the foot, and their prognosis is not ideal. It is necessary to understand the mechanism of injury and its anatomy in order to obtain satisfactory therapeutic effect. Let's talk about the symptoms of talus fracture.

Symptoms of talus fracture

Talus is located between tibia and fibula, heel and scaphoid. It is one of the main load-bearing bones of foot and plays a very important role in the activity of ankle joint. Talus dislocation is more common than fracture. The nutrition blood supply of talus muscle mainly comes from anterior and posterior joint capsule and ligament attachment. If the nutrition blood supply is cut off after fracture or dislocation, the necrosis rate of talus can be as high as 95%.

Pay attention to whether there is shock, soft tissue injury, bleeding, check the size, shape, depth and contamination of the wound, whether there is bone end exposure, whether there is nerve, blood vessel, brain, visceral injury and other parts of the fracture, the serious wounded must be quickly treated.

In addition to the X-ray films taken from the anterior and lateral positions, special postures should also be taken according to the injury conditions, such as open position (upper cervical spine injury), dynamic lateral position (cervical spine), axial position (scaphoid, calcaneus, etc.) and tangent position (patella, etc.). In case of complicated pelvic fracture or suspected intraspinal fracture, slice film or CT examination should be performed as appropriate.

matters needing attention

Patients with fracture may need to supplement zinc, iron, manganese and other trace elements; Animal liver, eggs, beans, green leafy vegetables, wheat, bread contain more iron; Cereal, mustard, egg yolk and cheese contain more manganese.
