Unfortunately, the evidence regarding the correct treatment of these fractures is mainly based on retrospective case series, while studies assessing the patient-reported outcome are rare. Therefore, the aim of this trial was to analyze the patient reported outcome in context of trauma mechanism and concomitant injuries following operative treatment of talar fractures.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>A retrospective outcome study of patients with operatively treated talar fractures between 2003 and 2015 was conducted. The fractures were classified according to AO-\/Hawkins classification system and to the Marti-Weber classification. Data was collected via patient registry, radiographs and a validated patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) for foot and ankle pathologies (Foot and Ankle Outcome Score\u2009=\u2009FOAS). An analysis regarding the functional outcome, concomitant injury and timing of surgery using the nonparametric Mann-Whitney U test and Spearman`s rank correlation was performed.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>In total the functional outcome of 32 patients suffering from fractures to the talus were analyzed. The median age of the study cohort was 35\u00b112.2 years, including 9 female (28\u2009%) and 23 male (72\u2009%) patients. The median FAOS score was 72\u00b122.7 (range 13\u201394). Patients with an isolated talar fracture had an FAOS of 87\u00b120 and with concomitant injury a score of 60\u00b123.4 (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.016). Patients with a closed talar fracture without emergency operation due to dislocation or polytrauma, showed no correlation between timing of surgery and FAOS (<jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>= -0.17,<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.43). 10\u2009% of the patients developed an avascular necrosis and 25\u2009% showed signs of a posttraumatic arthritis. The follow-up time was 41 months (range: 16\u2013145).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Talar fractures were typically caused by high-energy trauma often associated with additional injuries of the lower extremity. The majority of the patients showed a fair to poor functional long-term outcome. Concomitant injuries of the lower extremity led to a lower FAOS. In closed talar fractures without the necessity of an emergency surgical intervention, time to surgery did not influence the patient reported outcome. Relating to the presented\u00a0data, delayed surgery after soft tissue consolidation was not associated with a higher risk of developing an avascular necrosis.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s12891-021-04572-3","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,16]],"date-time":"2021-08-16T14:04:08Z","timestamp":1629122648000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Patient reported outcome of 33 operatively treated talar fractures"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"Patrick","family":"Pfl\u00fcger","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michael","family":"Zyskowski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anne","family":"Weber","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Katharina","family":"Gleisenberg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chlodwig","family":"Kirchhoff","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Peter","family":"Biberthaler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Moritz","family":"Cr\u00f6nlein","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"4572_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","unstructured":"Rasmussen CG, J\u00f8rgensen SB, Larsen P, Horodyskyy M, Kj\u00e6r IL, Elsoe R.
