INTRODUCTION Tumors of the medial malleolus are rare. Chondrogenic tumors of the medial malleolus are extremely rare. Chondroblastoma of the medial malleolus has not been reported previously in the English literature. The purpose is to present a rare tumor occurring at an unusual site and its successful management. CASE PRESENTATION We report a case of a 30 years old female with chondroblasto...

INTRODUCTION Eckert and Davis grade 3 superior peroneal retinaculum injury is rare and the optimal treatment is not yet determined. CASE REPORT A 57 year-old lady sprained her left ankle resulting in grade 3 injury of the superior peroneal retinaculum and was treated by endoscopic retinaculum reconstruction. The fracture healed and the peroneal tendons were stabilized. However, it was complic...

Figure 2 Answer Mr RA has chronic tophaceous gout. The swellings around the knuckles and on both index fingers are tophi (Figure 1). Terminal phalanx of right index finger is amputated. He also has tophi over lateral malleolus of right foot (Figure 2), olecranon bursa (Figure 3) and helix of the pinna (Figure 4). When they are on the dorsum of the hand, they may be confused with the tendon xant...

The Lauge-Hansen (LH) classification attempts to predict patterns of ankle injuries based upon the preceding mechanism of injury. Although it is widely used in clinical practice, it has been criticized mainly due to numerous reports of cases conflicting the prediction system. Here, we report a case of a 32-year-old male who sustained a Weber B fracture of the lateral malleolus following a supin...

Purpose: Infected malleolar bursitis sometimes requires multiple debridements, followed by soft tissue reconstruction with a flap. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical outcomes patients infected lateral who were treated using peroneal artery perforator-based propeller flaps. Methods: We retrospectively included 10 underwent malleolus flap due between 2014 and 2022. Results: av...

Displaced Lisfranc fracture with the arterial supply of the foot superimposed. The division of the dorsalis pedis artery (not shown) at its junction with the plantar arterial arch is present in all degrees of this fracture and is not in itself a dangerous injury. When to this injury is added excessive torsion of the main lateral plantar artery or of the posterior tibial artery behind the medial...

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...
