New radiographic projections for avulsion fractures of the lateral malleolus.
We report two new radiographic projections for evaluating avulsion fractures at the lateral malleolus. We used seven freshly amputated legs with simulated avulsion fractures and radiopaque markers to assess their value. The projections allow accurate assessment of the displacement of fragments without superimposition, and also show whether they affect the anterior talofibular or the calcaneofib...
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 کاملNovel stress radiography technique for avulsion fracture of the lateral malleolus in children: a report of three cases.
This study reports a novel stress radiography technique to evaluate an avulsion fracture at the lateral malleolus in children. Radiographs in the stress anteroposterior view or the Haraguchi calcaneofibular ligament or anterior tarofibular ligament (ATFL) projection could not detect any fracture; only manual inversion stress radiography in the Haraguchi ATFL projection could identify the avulsi...
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...
