Abstract
Avascular necrosis of the talus is known to occur after severe trauma.
But there are few reports about idiopathic-aseptic necrosis of the talus. We wish to report one case of idiopathic-aseptic necrosis of fhe caput tali.
Case report.
A 22-years-old female, complaining of pain in the region of the right foot, came to our hospital on Feb. 7, 1972.

Histological examinatition revealed aseptic bone necrosis, necrosis of subchondral bone tissue and no evidence of neoplastic growth.
