Distal tibial metaphyseal fractures: the role of fibular fixation
Distal tibial extra-articular fractures are often a result of complex high-energy trauma, which commonly involves associated fibular fractures and soft tissue injury. The goal of tibial fixation is to maximise fracture stability without increasing soft tissue morbidity from surgical intervention. The role of adjunctive fibular fixation in distal tibial metaphyseal fractures has been controversi...
متن کاملManagement of complex fibular fractures: double plating of fibular fractures.
Complex fibular fractures as a result of either high-energy mechanisms or advanced age can be difficult to manage as significant comminution can preclude standard operative techniques. Furthermore, the maintenance of osseous reduction postoperatively throughout convalescence can present an equivalent challenge. Strict weightbearing restrictions in the elderly and the noncompliant postoperativel...
متن کاملNovel management of distal tibial and fibular fractures with Acumed fibular nail and minimally invasive plating osteosynthesis technique
RATIONALE Anatomical characteristics, such as subcutaneous position and minimal muscle cover, contribute to the complexity of fractures of the distal third of the tibia and fibula. Severe damage to soft tissue and instability ensure high risk of delayed bone union and wound complications such as nonunion, infection, and necrosis. PATIENT CONCERNS This case report discusses management in a 54-...
متن کاملAnkle ligaments on MRI: appearance of normal and injured ligaments.
OBJECTIVE The objective of our study was to provide a pictorial survey of MR images of ankle ligaments in various conditions from intact to disrupted. CONCLUSION MR images of ankle ligaments from a sample of patients with ankle pain or injury are presented and reviewed.
متن کاملIncreased rates of wound complications with locking plates in distal fibular fractures.
INTRODUCTION There is a growing use of locking compression plates in fracture surgery. The current study was undertaken to investigate the wound complication rates of locking versus non-locking plates in distal fibular fractures. PATIENTS AND METHODS During a 6-year study period all consecutive, closed distal fibular fractures treated with either a locking or a non-locking plate were included...
