My x-ray shows discontinuity in medial tubercle of talus. Please suggest treatment options.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Looking into your x-ray pictures (attachment removed to protect patient identity) and reading your problem, I got to know about linear undisplaced fractures of the talus. We need to understand the function of the talus bone and its role in the movement of the ankle and foot. It is between the leg and the foot so that bodyweight may be transferred from the ankle to the leg, helping to walk while maintaining balance. The bone also helps in the movements of the ankle, and together with the calcaneus facilitates the movements of the foot. It has already been I think more than 15 days to outcast or do immobilization of the foot. It is needed to immobilize the foot and take some medicine. If you have swelling of moderate type then put a splint for 10 to 14 days and convert to a cast. Then we need to check an x-ray around in four weeks and then in six weeks and see the final callus formation and healing.
