New radiographic projections for avulsion fractures of the lateral malleolus.
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 calcaneofibular ligament or both.

Novel 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 کاملThe Role of the Accessory Malleolar Ossicles and Malleolar Avulsion Fractures in Lateral Ankle Ligament Reconstruction.
While it is well known that ankle sprains are one of the most common injuries in the United States, predictive factors regarding failure of conservative treatment are not well known. There are many biomechanical and epidemiological factors that play a role in recurrence and failure of conservative treatment, but most cases are able to be treated with immobilization and/or rest, ice, elevation, ...
متن کاملMedial and lateral segond fractures in a skeletally immature patient: a radiographic marker for the multiply injured knee.
Marginal fractures of the medial tibial plateau have been reported in the literature as a secondary type of Segond fracture. Some reports described this entity in the setting of combined injuries such as root avulsions of the medial meniscus, complete disruption of the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL), partial tear of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), and tears of the medial meniscus and m...
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...
متن کاملThe key role of the lateral malleolus in displaced fractures of the ankle.
The reason why late degenerative arthritis developed in some patients who had sustained displaced bimalleolar fractures of the ankle was investigated. The roentgenograms indicated that incomplete reduction of the lateral malleolus and a residual talar tilt were present. When bimalleolar fractures were created in cadavera the talus could be anatomically repositioned only when the lateral malleol...
