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 کاملPosterolateral approach for open reduction and internal fixation of trimalleolar ankle fractures.
posterior malleolar fracture is a displaced fragment that involves more than 25%–35% of the articular surface of the distal tibia. A number of different surgical approaches to this fracture have been advocated. Often, the posterior fragment reduces simultaneously when the lateral malleolus is reduced because of their respective attachments to the posteroinferior tibiofibular ligament (PITFL). T...

ECURITY EXPERTS FREQUENTLY REFER TO PEOPLE AS “THE WEAKEST LINK IN THE CHAIN” OF SYSTEM SECURITY. Famed hacker Kevin Mitnick revealed that he hardly ever cracked a password, because it “was easier to dupe people into revealing it” by employing a range of social engineering techniques. Often, such failures are attributed to users’ carelessness and ignorance. However, more enlightened researchers...
متن کاملPosterolateral approach for treatment of posterior malleolus fracture of the ankle.
Treatment of the posterior malleolus has been debated among orthopedic surgeons. Most orthopedic surgeons will fix the posterior malleolus if it is larger than 25% to 30% of the distal articular surface. The most common method of fixation of the posterior malleolus is by indirect reduction and anteroposterior screws. In the present study, we describe the technique and results of treatment of th...
