I would like opinions / ideas and help on possible treatments for a ten year old boy who has suffered multiple fractures of his left tarsal bones. There are comminuted fractures involving the talus with numerous fracture lines extending into the subtalar, dorsal and medial cortices. A linear fragment has been seperated from the anterior calcaneum medially. There are also linear fractures of the cuboid anteriorly and laterally. There is a severely comminuted fracture involving the 3rd cuneiform. There is a further fracture with minor displacement involving the base of the 3rd metatarsal. There is a more subtle fracture involving the lateral metaphysis of the distal 2nd metatarsal. The majority of trauma appears to involve the talus and the 3rd cuneiform.

Current treatment through the general hospital is conservative with non weight bearing and review in two months when the fracture sites have "healed"
Any ideas????
