Abstract
We report two cases of talus fracture-dislocation sustained in traffic accidents. Both were Type IV fractures by the Marti-Weber classification, and were treated surgically using screws. The Hawkins criteria scale was used to evaluate the results. In both cases, surgery was performed within 3 days, and the results were excellent. We conclude that early anatomical reduction is important in order to obtain good results and prevent avascularnecrosis.
