Abstract
En bloc resection is required for treatment of intermediate-grade talar tumors with extraosseous extension (Enneking stage 3) and malignant talar tumors without intra-articular invasion (Enneking stages IA and IIA). After resection, reconstruction options include tibiocalcaneal fusion, frozen autograft, and talar prosthesis; however, a talar prosthesis is preferable because it preserves ankle range of motion, does not cause leg length discrepancy, and is associated with good long-term outcomes. To the best of our knowledge, en bloc resection and reconstruction of a malignant talar tumor has not been previously reported in detail. We report a detailed surgical technique for en bloc resection of a malignant talar bone tumor using combined anterior and lateral approaches followed by reconstruction using a talar prosthesis.
