Background: Fracture-dislocation of the talus is one of the most severe injuries of the ankle. Opinion varies widely as to the proper treatment of this injury. Objective: To assess effectivness modifed blair technique-retention of the talar body white performing arthrodetis with anterion sliging grafl. Subjects and methods: It was an interventional prospective study. The cases & displaced tala necle fracture were included. They were treated using modifid Blair technique. The treatment and couses was anemed. Results: Tibiotalar fusion was acluwead is all the ankles at an average of 18 weeks. The results in 4 cut of 6 were encellent, and 2 had grand results. Conclusion: A good long-term result with tibiotalar arthrodesis with modification in blair technique was achived.

For several decades, Chopart's amputation has met with some skepticism owing to reports of significant equinus deformity developing soon after the procedure is performed. However, with appropriate tendon balancing, which generally includes anterior tibial tendon transfer and tendo Achillis lengthening, this level of amputation is often more functional than slightly more distal amputations, such as Lisfranc or short transmetatarsal amputations. The authors offer a rationale for this observation, which includes a discussion of the longitudinal and transverse arch concept of the foot. This concept dictates that the shorter the midfoot-level amputation, the more likely the patient is to develop an equinovarus deformity, thus exposing the fifth metatarsal base and cuboid to weightbearing stress and a high risk of ulceration. Chopart's amputation, in eliminating the cuboid, often obviates the potential varus deformity and thus can have a more acceptable long-term result.
