There were no instances of malunion. Avascular necrosis developed in 7\/26 (27%) cases. Post-traumatic arthritis was the most common complication affecting 10\/26 (38%) tali. The subtalar joint was most commonly affected.

Medial position screws can help avoid secondary surgeries for removal of symptomatic implants due to medial impingement as is common with medially based minifragment plates. This fixation strategy should be considered in the setting of displaced and comminuted talar neck fractures.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Level of Evidence:<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Therapeutic Level IV.
