The fracture of the neck of the talus in children is believed to be uncommon. Five cases were treated during the period from 1970 to 1975. At the time of the accident, the age distribution of the cases was four to ten years. Of the cases four were males and one female.
We mentioned and reviewed the frequency of aseptic necrosis of its body, early diagnosis of necrosis, the differences between adults and children of the talus neck fracture and treatment including the problem of period of immobilization when the aseptic necrosis occurred unfortunately. We stressed early reduction is most important and operative reduction is the best.
For early diagnosis of aseptic necrosis, it is important whether we find the subchondral atrophy of talus dorm on antero-posterior view and the tomography is also effective method.
