Correction of a displaced talar malunion (type I deformity). A 49‐year‐old man presented with a talar malunion and displacement at the talar body 18 months after a severe injury and the former fracture line almost disappeared. Appearance photo of anterior and posterior position with weight‐bearing (A, B), anteroposterior and lateral X‐rays (C, D), computed tomography scan (E, F), and magnetic resonance imaging (G) before operation show talar malunion with a fair joint facet, malalignment, and disappearance of the fracture lines. Treatment consisted of debridement of the ankle joint and supramalleolar or fibular osteotomies (H–J) and allograft bone grafting (I). X‐rays after surgery showed a congruent joint and a fair alignment (K, L). At follow‐up after 2 years, the patient was pain free and had normal function of the ankle and subtalar joints (M–P).
