%X Background: To investigate the search for an Iliac-Talar Grafts on the iliac bone that is morphologically matched to a multiplanar injury lesion of the talus; while utilizing a bone-harvesting guide to ensure precise positioning of the Iliac-Talar Grafts. Methods: A total of twenty-two cases with both talar CT data and iliac CT data were collected from January 2019 to June 2023. One case each of talar deformity injury and bone disease were excluded, resulting in a selection of 20 cases. The medial and lateral target repair areas of the talus were formulated, and virtual surgery was performed by using digital orthopedic technology to locate an iliac-talar restoration on the iliac bone that matched the morphology of the multiplanar injury lesion of the talus. 3D chromatographic deviation analysis was used to assess the accuracy of Iliac-Talar Grafts in terms of morphometric matching and positioning, while personalized iliac bone extraction guides were designed to ensure accurate positioning of the Iliac-Talar Grafts. Results: The best fitting point for repairing the medial talar lesion is determined to be medial to the anterior iliac crest, specifically 2.935 ± 0.365 cm posterior to the anterior superior iliac spine, and 2.550 ± 0.559 cm anterior to the valgus-iliac crest point (VICP). Similarly, for the repair of the lateral talar lesion, the ideal position is found to be lateral to the posterior iliac crest, approximately 2.695 ± 0.640 cm posterior to the valgus-iliac crest point (VICP). Utilizing bone extraction guides enables precise positioning for iliac bone extraction. Conclusion: This study utilizes virtual surgery, 3D chromatographic deviation analysis, and guide plate techniques in digital orthopedics to precisely locate the Iliac-Talar Graft on the iliac bone, matching the morphology of the talar lesion; it provides a new solution for cutting the iliac bone implant that matches the the multifaceted talar lesion to be repaired.
