It plays a significant role in diagnostic work-up on orthopedics wards. This paper presents an analysis of management of two cases of Hawkins type I talar neck fracture with ankle joint rotation. In both patients, the diagnosis was based on conventional radiographs of the ankle joint in two projections and was subsequently verified with CT scans. The findings of a CT scan of the talus had a significant impact on further treatment and physiotherapy. Non-surgical treatment consisting in immobilization with \na short leg cast combined with medication and magnetic field therapy produced a positive therapeutic outcome. A follow-up CT scan of the talus revealed bone union with remodelling in both patients. The functional outcome according to the AOFAS scale should be regarded good. Computed tomography is the radiological modality for detecting talar neck fractures and determining the presence of displacement. Follow-up CT scans evaluate the natural process of bone healing, which is crucial for treatment decisions regarding weight-bearing status. A correct diagnosis based on CT helps to prevent the development of necrosis and posttraumatic (secondary) degenerative changes as well as advanced physical disability, especially among youn\u00adger patients, in whom the injury is most common, consequently helping to avoid a long and costly treatment.\n\n<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.5604\/01.3001.0011.5842","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,3,8]],"date-time":"2018-03-08T13:06:13Z","timestamp":1520514373000},"page":"31-42","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Importance of Computed Tomography (CT) in Talar Neck Fractures.
