Talus fractures are a rare occurrence, accounting for about 0.5% of all fractures. These fractures are classified into 4 types, according to Hawkins. Hawkins type 1 fractures are compound fractures; due to their low incidence, it is difficult to evaluate long-term results and prognosis. This kind of fracture could be treated conservatively, but the importance of surgical treatment should not be underestimated. The present article describes a case of Hawkins type I talar neck fracture, early recognized and successfully surgically treated by percutaneous screws. At a 12-month followup, the patient reported returning to full-time employment, resuming all activities without pain or functional limitation. The decision-making in Hawkins type I talus neck fractures is not well defined because of the rarity of the incidence and the low number of cases in the literature. This case report supports the success and good outcomes of a prompt surgical approach in Hawkins Type-1 fractures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"categories":[2560],"tags":[2689,2688,769,2687],"affiliation":[],"contributor":[2673,2674,2685,2684,2686],"journalissue":[2645],"class_list":["post-21616","article","type-article","status-publish","hentry","category-jo-vol-15-n-3-sep-dec-2023","tag-conservative-treatment","tag-hawkins-type-i","tag-surgical-treatment","tag-talar-neck-fracture","contributor-a-pantalone","contributor-d-bruni","contributor-j-troiano","contributor-p-rao","contributor-r-buda","journalissue-jo-vol-15-n-3-sep-dec-2023"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
