osteochondral lesions of the talus can be debrided, and loose bodies and small osteochondral fragments can be removed; use of non-invasive or invasive distraction improves access to joint and allows adequate debridement and curettage of bed;
- multiple articular facets and lack of muscular attachments are evidence of intercalary role of the talus in connecting the leg to foot; - talocalcaneal ligament is important in the dorsal and supination displacement of a talar neck fracture; - disruption of talocalcaneal ligament allows displacement of the frx;
