ABSTRACT
We report a case of a severely comminuted fracture of the body of the talus treated by primary Blair tibiotalar fusion. Clinical Presentation and Intervention A very severely comminuted open fracture of the body of the talus was treated on the same day of injury by debridement and tibiotalar fusion using the Blair fusion technique. Blair fusion may be indicated in cases of severely comminuted fractures of the talar body. It has the advantage of giving a near-normal appearance to the foot, producing less shortening and allowing motion to remain at the talonavicular and anterior subtalar joints
