Evaluation of the Deltoid Complex in Supination External Rotation Ankle Fractures
We present the results of a prospective study of supination external rotation ankle injuries with an isolated fibula fracture on plain radiographs. The purpose of this study was to see if a correlation exists between the preoperative evaluation and the intraoperative arthroscopic evaluation of the deltoid ligament complex in these injuries. Gravity stress radiographs of the ankle were evaluated...
متن کاملThe diagnosis and treatment of deltoid ligament lesions in supination–external rotation ankle fractures: a review
The supination-external rotation or Weber B type fracture exists as a stable and an unstable type. The unstable type has a medial malleolus fracture or deltoid ligament lesion in addition to a fibular fracture. The consensus is the unstable type and best treated by open reduction and internal fixation. The diagnostic process for a medial ligament lesion has been well investigated but there is n...
متن کاملSupination-external rotation ankle fractures: stability a key issue.
UNLABELLED Stability is a key issue in treating supination-external rotation ankle fractures, but we do not know how it affects functional outcome and subsequent development of radiographic osteoarthritis. With a systematic literature review, we identified 11 clinical studies (Level IV evidence) published in peer-reviewed journals reporting on at least 10 ankles. Followup was at least 1 year. T...
متن کاملUltrasonography as a diagnostic tool in assessing deltoid ligament injury in supination external rotation fractures of the ankle.
The medial deltoid ligament is the primary stabilizing structure in the ankle joint following lateral malleolar fracture. However, medial deltoid ligament ruptures are difficult to diagnose using current imaging modalities. We hypothesized that ultrasonography can be used to accurately allow early clinical assessment of ankle fracture stability, thereby negating the need to perform plain film s...
متن کاملLong-term outcome after supination-external rotation type-4 fractures of the ankle.
We have compared the results at a mean follow-up of 13 years (11 to 14) of two groups of supination-external rotation type-4 fractures of the ankle, in one of which there was a fracture of the medial malleolus and in the other the medial deltoid ligament had been partially or completely ruptured. Of 66 patients treated operatively between 1993 and 1997, 36 were available for follow-up. Arthrosc...
