Abstract: Complete talar dislocation-extrusion is an uncommon sequela of high-energy trauma. When the talus is unavailable for reimplantation, a staged treatment plan with the use (a) of an antibiotic cement spacer, followed by (b) tibiotalocalcaneal fusion with bone allograft interposition, may ensure a good clinical outcome.<br />Competing Interests: There is no conflict of interest associated with this publication, and there has been no financial support for this work that could have influenced its outcome.<br /> (© 2022 The Authors.
