Eight cases of fracture dislocation of the talus and two cases of avascular necrosis of the body of the talus following undisplaced fracture of the talar neck are presented. A modification of Blair's tibial-talar neck arthrodesis in the treatment of these problems is described. Results were uniformly good to excellent in this small series of cases.
