Novel stress radiography technique for avulsion fracture of the lateral malleolus in children: a report of three cases.
نویسنده
چکیده
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 avulsion fracture.

Intraarticular Entrapment of Os Subfibulare Following a Severe Inversion Injury of the Ankle: A Case Report
INTRODUCTION Anterior Talofibular Ligament (ATFL) rupture is the most commonly injured anatomic structure in lateral ankle sprain. In some cases, ATFL avulsion fracture from the lateral malleolus may occur instead of purely ligamentous injuries. The ATFL avulsion fracture is detected as a small ossicle at the tip of lateral malleolus on direct radiographs, which is called os subfibulare in chro...
متن کاملNew radiographic projections for avulsion fractures of the lateral malleolus.
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 calcaneofib...

INTRODUCTION Sprained ankle is a very common injury in children. Proper treatment of ligament injuries enables full recovery. X-ray and US examinations are commonly available diagnostic methods. MATERIAL AND METHODS Two hundred and six children (113 girls and 93 boys, mean age 10.6) with recent ankle joint sprain (up to 7 days of injury) were subject to a retrospective analysis. All patients ...

INTRODUCTION The referral of a lateral malleolus fracture is one of the commonest orthopaedic trauma presentations. Failure to fully assess the patient and radiography can lead to missing associated injuries in the hindfoot. CASE REPORT We describe an unusual hindfoot injury with an atypical combination of lateral subtalar dislocation and calcaneal fracture with associated lateral malleolus f...
متن کاملSimultaneous Dorsal Base Fracture and FDP Avulsion of Distal Phalanx of the Little Finger
Avulsion injury of the flexor digitorum profundus (FDP) with concomitant fracture of the distal phalanx dorsal base is uncommon. Simultaneous avulsion fractures of the insertion of this tendon associated with rupture of the tendon from the bony fragment and combination with dorsal base fracture is very rare and also complicated. A 36- year- old man fell and injured his right little finger. FDP ...
