Abstract
Fracture of the lateral process of the talus (FLPT) is uncommon in clinical practice and can be easily missed or misdiagnosed. In recent years, as researchers from all over the world have further deepened their research on FLPT, there has been a breakthrough in the classification, and the methods and principles of clinical management have changed accordingly; however, there is still no standardized guideline for the diagnosis and management of FLPT, and there have been few relevant literature review articles related to this kind of fracture in the past at least 5 years. In this article, we review the clinical classification, classification-based therapeutic recommendations, and prognosis of FLPT, with the aim of providing a reference for the clinical diagnosis and management of this infrequent fracture.
Core Tip: To our knowledge, there are no standardized guidelines for the diagnosis and management of fracture of the lateral process of the talus (FLPT). Furthermore, no relevant review articles have been published in the past 5 years. Recently, there is some new progress in classification and management recommendations of FLPT; consequently, in this article, we mainly reviewed the clinical classification, classification-based therapeutic recommendations and prognosis of FLPT, aiming at providing a much needed reference for clinical diagnosis and management of FLPT.
