Open reduction and internal fixation with screw(s) for fragments with sufficient size, and resection of smaller fragments. ⋯ At a specialized orthopedic hospital with a supraregional frequented department for foot and ankle surgery, 8 patients with peripherial talar fractures were treated in 2012 (medial/posterior talar process, each n = 1, lateral talar process, n = 2, medial and lateral talar shoulder, each n = 2). One fragment was fixed with 1-3 screws, and additional cartilage reconstruction with matrix-associated stem cell transplantation was performed in 4 cases (lateral talar process, n = 2, medial and lateral talar shoulder, each n = 1). Bony fusion was registered at the 6-week follow-up in all cases. Further follow-up is not completed. Complications have not been registered so far.
