Comparison of Lateral and Medial Plate Fixations of Talar Neck Fracture: A 3D-Finite Element Analysis
Abstract: Background: Talar neck fractures are rare, but challenging injuries, because the bone has unique anatomy, and its blood supply makes it difficult to stabilize the fracture and is likely to cause posttraumatic or postoperative complications. Thanks to development of appropriately sized plates, outcomes of plate fixation of talar neck fractures have been improved compared with screw fixation. Although some studies have demonstrated no difference between screw only fixation and screw-plate …
