Posterolateral 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...
متن کاملIsolated posterior malleolus fracture: a rare injury mechanism
Sprain of the ankle is undoubtedly a common injury during athletic activity, and the sprain can be also associated with fracture of the ankle. Isolated posterior malleolus fracture is a very rare condition, which is usually missed. Here, we are presenting a 37 years old female patient, who suffered injury secondary pressing on brake pedal during collision in a traffic accident. Clinical evaluat...
متن کاملOperative versus non-operative treatment of posterior malleolus fragment in trimalleolar fracture: a retrospective cohort study
Introduction: The treatment of Posterior Malleolus (PM) fracture in trimalleolar surgery is still controversial. Fixation of PM is determined according to joint congruency and posterior fragment size. When the ratio of posterior fragment is less than 25% of anteroposterior dimension of the articular surface, conservative treatment is suggested in the literature. The aim of this study was to eva...
متن کاملModified posteromedial approach for treatment of posterior pilon variant fracture
BACKGROUND Posterior pilon variant fracture is a recently described posterior malleolus fracture characterized by the involvement of both posterolateral and posteromedial malleolar fragment. The associated surgical approach remains controversial. The aim of this study was to present the application of modified posteromedial approach in the treatment for posterior pilon variant fracture. METHO...
متن کاملQuantification of posterior ankle exposure through an achilles tendon-splitting versus posterolateral approach.
BACKGROUND The optimal surgical exposure to the posterior ankle for trauma and reconstruction is a source of debate. We hypothesized that the Achilles tendon-splitting approach would provide greater exposure to the posterior ankle than the posterolateral approach. METHODS Forty surgical approaches were performed from twenty fresh-frozen cadavers. Achilles tendon-splitting and posterolateral a...
