Fractures of the talus can be divided into types based on the 3 main anatomic divisions of the talus: body, neck, and head. Fractures of the body of the talus are further subdivided based on whether they traverse the main portion of the body or are fractures involving the talar dome, lateral process, or posterior process. Mechanisms of injury, treatment, and prognosis of the different types of talar fractures are markedly dissimilar.
