Open reduction of a total talar dislocation: A case report and review of the literature

Figure 3 Anteroposterior and lateral ankle radiographs of the right ankle after surgery. After the reduction of the medial malleolus and the talus, the medial malleolus was fixed using the tension band technique because of instability of the tibiotalar and talonavicular joints. Two Kirschner (K) wires were inserted horizontally from the lateral malleolus to the talus in order to increase the stability of the tibiotalar joint and a K-wire for the talonavicular joint was used for the maintenance of the reduction.
