Posterior talus tuberosity fracture

  This fracture is the result of a plantar flexion injury, with pressure acting on the talus tuberosity from the posterior inferior lip of the tibia.The occurrence of this cartilage junction fracture is usually the result of an abrupt jump with the metatarsal or toe during basketball or tennis sports. Similarly, forcefully stepping backward into an empty chair can also cause it. Ballet dancers are more prone to this injury due to the elongation of the lateral tuberosity of the talus (Stieda process)..

1. What are the causes of the occurrence of posterior talus tuberosity fracture?

  Talus fractures are relatively rare and can occur when the foot lands first from a fall from a height. Various types of talus fractures occur due to different external forces on the foot, such as posterior talus tuberosity fracture caused by the strong plantar flexion of the foot being impacted by the posterior edge of the tibia or the superior margin of the calcaneal tuberosity.

 

2. What complications can posterior talus tuberosity fracture easily lead to?

  In addition to general symptoms, it can also cause other diseases. The blood supply to the talus in this disease is insufficient, mainly relying on the nutrient artery entering through the talus neck, so it is difficult to heal after a detour, and even ischemic necrosis may occur.

3. What are the typical symptoms of posterior talus tuberosity fracture?

  There is often pain and swelling in the posterior ankle area, making it difficult to walk down a hill or down the stairs. There may also be persistent swelling without a clear history of trauma. The surface may feel warm, but the degree is relatively mild. When the foot is flexed towards the lower leg, the patient's pain worsens. It is said that the same may be true for the dorsiflexion of the big toe. However, the latter method is still questionable. Lateral X-ray of the ankle is essential for a definitive diagnosis. Bilateral X-ray examination should be performed to rule out the talus.

4. How to prevent talus posterior lateral tubercle fracture

  Appropriately carry out functional exercises. However, due to the slow healing of talus fractures, the fixation time should be slightly longer, and it is necessary to take X-ray films for observation. Only when the fracture is clinically healed can the fixation be removed. At this time, it is necessary to gradually strengthen the weight-bearing activities of the ankle joint,配合熏洗药, massage to relax tendons and collaterals, to promote blood circulation in the foot, prevent ischemic necrosis of the talus body, and allow exercise with weight-bearing after the fracture is firmly healed.

 

5. What kind of laboratory tests are needed for talus posterior lateral tubercle fracture

  At the time of diagnosis, in addition to relying on clinical manifestations, auxiliary examinations are also needed. This disease is confirmed by X-ray examination. It seriously affects the daily life of patients, so it should be actively prevented. It should attract the high attention of clinical doctors and patients.

6. Dietary taboos for patients with talus posterior lateral tubercle fracture

  Firstly, what foods are good for the talus posterior lateral tubercle fracture

  1, Eat more:Vegetables with high fiber content, eat bananas, honey, and other foods that promote gastrointestinal digestion and defecation.

  2, Early period:Eat some foods that promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, such as vegetables, dairy products, fish soup, eggs, etc.

  3, Middle period:Eat some foods that help relieve pain, remove blood stasis, and promote new bone formation, such as bone soup, Cordyceps chicken stew, animal liver, etc.

  4, Postoperative period:Eat more tonifying the liver and kidneys, nourishing qi and blood, relaxing tendons and collaterals, which can help the formation of calluses, such as old hen soup, pork bone soup, lamb bone soup, etc.

  Secondly, what foods should not be eaten for the best talus posterior lateral tubercle fracture

  1, Taboo:Blindly supplementing calcium.

  2, Taboo:Difficult to digest food.

  3, Taboo:Eat more meat and drink braised bone soup.

7. Conventional methods for treating talus posterior lateral tubercle fracture in Western medicine

  Generally, plaster cast fixation for 4 to 6 weeks. If pain persists and there is soft tissue inflammation, a combined infiltration injection of corticosteroids and local anesthetics may be effective. It may be necessary to surgically remove the lateral tubercle of the talus. Tonify the liver and kidneys, promote the generation of more solid calluses, and relax tendons and collaterals to allow the adjacent joints of the fractured part to move freely and flexibly, restoring the previous function. Diet restrictions can be lifted, and the diet can be supplemented with old hen soup, pork bone soup, lamb bone soup, deer tendons soup, braised fish, etc.
