case_images: Preoperative MRI scans showing heterogeneous low signal intensity in the talar body on a T1-weighted image (a), low signal intensity in the talar neck and weight-bearing area of the talar body on a T2-weighed image (b), and heterogeneous high signal intensity in the talar body on a STIR image (c).

case_images: fig3
case_images: T1-weighted images showed heterogeneous low signal intensity in the talar body (Figure 3(a)). On T2-weighted images, signal intensity in the talar neck and weight-bearing area of the talar body was low (Figure 3(b)). Short time inversion recovery (STIR) images showed heterogeneous high signal intensity in the talar body (Figure 3(c)).
case_images: Postoperative radiographs showing the outcome of replacement of the talus with an alumina ceramic total talar prosthesis in anteroposterior (a) and lateral (b) views at 1 year and 6 months after surgery. There is good congruence between the talar prosthesis and the tibia, fibula, calcaneus, and navicular bone.

case_images: fig4
case_images: At the most recent follow-up at 1 year and 6 months after surgery, radiographs showed that the prosthesis was appropriately positioned in the ankle with no degenerative or destructive changes in the surrounding bones (Figures 4(a) and 4(b)).
case_images: Postoperative CT scans showing good alignment of the prosthesis and surrounding bones in coronal (a) and sagittal (b) views at 1 year and 6 months after surgery. There is no osteolytic change in the surrounding bones or sinking of the prosthesis.
