An Incarcerated Divergent and Axial Dislocation of Ankle without any Fracture

Divergent Fracture-Dislocation Of The Ankle About 2 Cases

The authors report 2 cases of divergent fracture-dislocation of the ankle. They remind diagnostic problems and show the ease of diagnosis. The literature review confirms that this is a rare lesion. Pathological stages are now well codified. After reduction, the evolution is favourable rule. A year back, the results are satisfactory and 2 patients had no pain, with resumption of their daily acti...

Atlanto-axial fracture-dislocation.

Open medial dislocation of the ankle without fracture.

A 20-year-old man sustained an open medial dislocation of the ankle without an associated fracture after a low-energy inversion injury. Prompt debridement and reduction with primary wound closure of the skin were performed without suture of the capsule. Immobilisation in a non-weight-bearing cast for 30 days followed by ankle bracing for two weeks and subsequent physiotherapy, produced full fun...

Atlanto-axial dislocation without fracture: case report of an ejection injury.

We describe an unusual injury to the upper cervical spine sustained during ejection from an aircraft. MRI provided an accurate and direct diagnosis of the severe ligamentous injuries.

Anterior ankle dislocation without associated fracture: a case with an 11 year follow-up.

Ankle dislocations without concomitant malleolar fractures, also called pure ankle dislocations, are rare injuries. We present what appears to be the third documented case of a true anterior pure ankle dislocation described in international literature. The mechanism, the management and the complications of this rare injury, are also discussed.
