Pedicled Retrograde Fibula Flap for Ankle Reconstruction after Oncologic Resection of the Distal Fibula
1 Sir: D of the distal fibula can result in ankle instability.1 Ankle reconstruction for defects involving the distal fibula include arthrodesis, nonvascularized autografts, and free flaps.2 Pedicled flaps have some advantages over free flaps, including decreased operative time and decreased postoperative complications.3 Pedicled retrograde fibula flaps have been previously described for tibial...
متن کاملDistal ulna hook plate fixation for unstable distal ulna fracture associated with distal radius fracture.
The significance of distal ulna fractures is often undermined, which can result in inadequate treatment compared with fractures of the radius, the ulna's larger counterpart. However, little guidance exists in the current literature on how to manage distal ulna head or neck fractures and intra-articular ulna head fractures. Therefore, the purpose of this retrospective study was to evaluate the o...
متن کاملImmediate Weight-Bearing after Ankle Fracture Fixation
We believe that a certain subset of surgical ankle fracture patients can be made weight-bearing as tolerated immediately following surgery. Immediate weight-bearing as tolerated (IWBAT) allows patients to return to ambulation and activities of daily living faster and may facilitate rehabilitation. A prospectively gathered orthopaedic trauma database at a Level 1 trauma center was reviewed retro...
متن کاملBilateral stress fracture of distal fibula and tibia--case report.
The article presents a very rare case of bilateral distal tibial and fibular stress fractures in a 58-year-old white male. Excessive work load was undoubtedly the direct cause of the fractures as the patient's job involved carrying heavy (about 7 kg) packs of newspapers up stairs for 4 hours every night, with the distance covered amounting to approximately 80 floors. The available literature do...
