Beware the "simple" fibular fracture (a clue for severe unstable ankle injury.

چکیده
The ankle is a common site of sport injuries. These usually have their main manifestations at the ankle joint and are thus easily recognised. However, unstable ligamentous ankle injuries may be associated with a fracture of the proximal fibula which can dominate the clinical picture. This severe uncommon injury complex, known as Maisonneuve fracture, is easily missed and maltreated (Pankovich, 1967).

Case Report Beware the "simple" Fibular Fracture (a Clue for Severe Unstable Ankle Injury)
The ankle is a common site of sport injuries. These usually have their main manifestations at the ankle joint and are thus easily recognised. However, unstable ligamentous ankle injuries may be associated with a fracture of the proximal fibula which can dominate the clinical picture. This severe uncommon injury complex, known as Maisonneuve fracture, is easily missed and maltreated (Pankovich, ...
متن کاملDistal fibula malunions.
Anatomic reduction and fixation of unstable ankle fractures is necessary to prevent posttraumatic arthritis. Malunion of the distal fibula in unstable ankle fractures may lead to progressive talar instability. Ankle fracture malunions often present with concomitant syndesmotic widening, which can cause surgeons to overlook changes in fibula length and rotation. The decision to proceed with surg...
متن کاملExtraperiosteal plating of pronation-abduction ankle fractures.
BACKGROUND Pronation-abduction ankle fractures frequently are associated with substantial lateral comminution and have been reported to be associated with the highest rates of nonunion among indirect ankle fractures. The purpose of the present study was to report the technique for and outcomes of extraperiosteal plating in a series of patients with pronation-abduction ankle fractures. METHODS...
متن کاملArthroscopy-assisted closed reduction and percutaneous nail fixation of unstable ankle fractures: description of a minimally invasive procedure.
When one is surgically managing an unstable ankle fracture, anatomic reduction of the syndesmosis is typically accomplished using an open surgical approach. We propose an arthroscopically assisted technique that restores normal anatomy while using a percutaneously placed intramedullary nail to fix the fibula. The patient is positioned supine, and the ankle is placed under traction by use of a t...
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...
