چکیده

INTRODUCTION The risk of growth arrest following paediatric ankle fractures type 1 A is very high. Therefore all attempts should be done to anatomically reduce this kind of fracture. The advances in ankle arthroscopy have brought the possibility to reduce these fractures under direct vision, without the need of capsulotomy. The purpose of this paper is to stress the importance of the use of arthroscopically assisted reduction of type 1 A fractures. CASE REPORT We describe two cases with SH type IV fractures of the distal medial tibia, one treated with open reduction and percutaneous screw fixation and the other treated with arthroscopically assisted reduction and percutaneous screw fixation. The first case ended with severe growth disturbance, while the second gave a very good result. CONCLUSION The use of arthroscopically assisted reduction of type 1 A fractures should be considered to ensure anatomical reduction.

Effectiveness of arthroscopically assisted surgery for ankle fractures: A meta-analysis.

INTRODUCTION This meta-analysis was performed to determine whether the arthroscopically assisted open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) for ankle fractures is more beneficial than the conventional ORIF. METHODS Articles in electronic medial databases were searched between March 1983 and August 2016, including Pubmed and SCOPUS. We included the studies with comparative design comparing th...

Arthroscopically assisted percutaneous fixation of triplane fracture of the distal tibia.

Triplane ankle fractures typically occur in the adolescent age group. Although many are minimally displaced and can be managed nonoperatively, some are displaced and difficult to reduce by closed methods and need open reduction and internal fixation. Traditionally satisfactory articular reduction is achieved through an open approach, which can be extensive. We describe our experience of treatin...

The value of arthroscopy in the treatment of complex ankle fractures – a protocol of a randomised controlled trial

BACKGROUND An anatomical reconstruction of the ankle congruity is the important prerequisite in the operative treatment of acute ankle fractures. Despite anatomic restoration patients regularly suffer from residual symptoms after these fractures. There is growing evidence, that a poor outcome is related to the concomitant traumatic intra-articular pathology. By supplementary ankle arthroscopy a...

Arthroscopically assisted reduction and fixation of a juvenile Tillaux fracture.

This is the first report of arthroscopically assisted reduction and fixation of a juvenile Tillaux fracture. Arthroscopic visualization assisted with the anatomic reduction of the articular fragment. This adds arthroscopy as a modality available to help obtain accurate reduction as well as understand the nature of the fracture pattern in juvenile Tillaux fractures along with its adult counterpa...

Arthroscopically assisted reduction of an unstable severe slipped capital femoral epiphysis: a case report.

Slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) is considered to be one of the most common disorders of the hip in children and adolescents. If left untreated, it may lead to progressive deformity, pain and decreased range of motion, and predisposes to early onset degenerative arthritis. Surgical treatment is advised, with in situ pinning across the physis being the gold standard for stable slips. Clo...
