Evaluation of the role of posterior malleolus fixation in trimalleolar ankle fractures: a prospective study
Ankle fractures are among the most common injuries treated by orthopaedic surgeons. 1 Most of the rotational ankle fracture mechanisms described by Lauge-Hansen can lead to posterior malleolar fractures by avulsion of the posterior tibial fibular ligament especially the posterior external rotation (PER) injury. Trimalleolar fractures are known to have a worse prognosis than bimalleolar fracture...
متن کاملOperative versus non-operative treatment of posterior malleolus fragment in trimalleolar fracture: a retrospective cohort study
Introduction: The treatment of Posterior Malleolus (PM) fracture in trimalleolar surgery is still controversial. Fixation of PM is determined according to joint congruency and posterior fragment size. When the ratio of posterior fragment is less than 25% of anteroposterior dimension of the articular surface, conservative treatment is suggested in the literature. The aim of this study was to eva...
متن کاملOptimal Fixation for Horizontal Medial Malleolus Fractures
Figure 2: A) Bar graph of the stiffness in tension for each construct. B) Bar graph of the load at two millimeters of displacement (defined as fixation failure) in tension for each construct. Error is reported as the mean plus or minus the standard deviation. The * indicates statistical significance (p < 0.05) when compared to another group. Optimal Fixation for Horizontal Medial Malleolus Frac...
متن کاملFractures of the Malleolus with Syndesmotic
7 Fractures of the malleolus associated with syndesmotic injuries are common. Diagnosis of the syndesmotic injury often is missed and requires stress testing. An initial stable syndesmosis on x-ray may get displaced in later x-ray and a high suspicion Index can prevent one from missing this injury. Figure 1 and 2. Accurate reduction and stable fixation of the syndesmosis are critical to outcome...
متن کاملCollicular fractures of the medial malleolus.
The medial malleolus is often assumed to be a simple structure, but it has a complex anatomy which consists of anterior and posterior colliculi and the intercollicular groove. The superficial part of the deltoid ligament arises from the anterior colliculus, and the deep portion of this ligament is attached to the intercollicular groove and the posterior colliculus (Pankovich and Shivaram, 1979a...
