Talar body fractures are another complex injury. The most used classification of talar body fractures is based on a series of 51 patients, using radiographs alone. The purpose of this study was to use modern techniques to further understand the morphology of talar body fractures.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>All skeletally mature patients with operatively treated isolated shear-type talar body fractures and preoperative computed tomography (CT) scans from 2008 to 2020 at a single level 1 academic trauma center were eligible for inclusion. 3D fracture lines and intact bone fragments were identified and subsequently mapped onto a common template talus model to generate 3D fracture maps depicting the spatial distribution and relative frequency of fractures and comminution.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 124 talar body fractures were included. The average age was 37 years (SD 10, range 17-69). Eighty-eight patients (71%) were male. There was a dominant oblique fracture pattern originating from the anteromedial talar body and extending posterolaterally, involving a variable amount of the talar dome and posterior facet. This fracture pattern was present in 71% of cases, whereas the typical coronal shear pattern was present in only 18% and the classic sagittal shear pattern was present in only 8% of cases. Ninety percent of fractures had the presence of comminution or articular impaction, which typically occurred at the plantar-medial talus and involved the medial subtalar joint.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This CT-based 3D fracture mapping study of 124 talar body fractures demonstrated that these fractures occur in certain patterns with high frequency. An obliquely oriented, anteromedial-to-posterolateral fracture line involving a variable amount of the posterior facet and talar dome was present in the majority of cases. These results may help guide treatment planning including surgical approach and fixation strategies.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Level of Evidence:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      <jats:underline>Level IV<\/jats:underline>\n                      , prognostic.
