Total talar extrusion is a rare injury, and its management is controversial1-12. The prognosis after reimplantation is guarded because of the presumably high rate of talar osteonecrosis. However, the physiology surrounding talar revascularization in this setting is not well understood. We present the case of a thirty-nine-year-old man who had a totally extruded talus without a fracture and was treated with acute primary reimplantation. In an attempt to improve the current understanding of talar vascularity after reimplantation, we followed the patient for five years with serial clinical evaluations, radiographs, and magnetic resonance imaging studies. The patient was informed that data concerning the case would be submitted for publication, and he consented.
