Question 1

do talus fractures cause your foot to tingle and go numb?

Accepted Answer

Talus fractures: In general talus fractures do not commonly cause the foot to tingle and go numb. However, if a substantial fracture to the talus occurred then an adjacent nerve may be injured and result in the above symptoms. It is also possible that unrelated nerve symptoms are developing such as tarsal tunnel syndrome, mortons neuroma's or even spinal nerve impingement . Consult a doctor for diagnosis.

Possible: If u stretched some sensory nerves u can have this ; they do recover with time. If u r in a cast, tight casts will cause this ; u should c ur ortho, may need to split the cast.

Foot pain: It could be fractured. Head to an urgent care today for an x-ray and depending on the issue they can refer you to a podiatrist in your area.

Question 4

5 years ago i fractured my talus bone in 3 places and when i'm sat down my toes go numb and my ankle starts to hurt is this normal?

Accepted Answer

No: No, i would not say it is normal and there are multiple potential causes.  Some talus fractures heal uneventfully, others have serious long term sequelae.  Tarsal tunnel syndrome is just one condition that can cause similar symptoms and may be more common in someone who has had such a severe injury as you are describing.  Thank you for your question.

Accepted Answer

: You still have many months ahead before you get through this major injury. Your doctor is your best source for information concerning your injury. Discuss with your physical therapist.

Question 6

can fallen arches cause pain in talus? my elderly dad has pain on the top of his foot near talus.  he had an x-ray; no fracture.

Accepted Answer

Ankle pain: Im sorry your dad is having pain. X-rays will sometimes miss a fracture. How is his range of motion? Able to flex/extend? Able to bear weight? Full history and exam indicated. Any hardware in there from a previous fracture? Conservatively you can ice 20 minutes 4 times a day, wrap in an ace. If he can't bear weight, have him see an Orthopaedic Surgeon for repeat imaging or CT scan eval. Good luck.

Accepted Answer

Nerve truama: Numbness can happen as a result of either a direct or indirect nerve trauma.  During the injury the nerve could have been lacerated.  Prolonged swelling can also cause nerve damage leading to numbness.
