Abstract:

Category: Trauma; Ankle Introduction/Purpose: Ankle fractures are one of the most common types of foot and ankle trauma requiring surgery. Prior studies have investigated the association between obesity and ankle fracture on a general level, but not all studies have broken down the data by ankle fracture pattern subtypes. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between obesity and severity of ankle fractures, as classified by single malleolar (isolated fibular, posterior malleolar or medial malleolar), bimalleolar, trimalleolar and pilon subtypes. Methods: We retrospectively i

Abstract:

Background: Conventionally ankle fractures have been classified using plain radiographs. Because of complex 3-dimensional anatomy and complexity of injuries, plain radiographs may not always be able to clearly depict the complete fracture pattern. There is a paucity of studies regarding the utility of computed tomography (CT) scanning in malleolar ankle fractures (MAFs). Hence, we conducted this study to further understand the role of the CT scan in MAFs. Methods: A prospective study of 56 consecutive malleolar ankle fractures was conducted. In the first evaluation by a team of 3 observers, a

Abstract:

Background: Ankle fractures, especially tri-malleolar fractures, are among the most frequent injuries to the lower extremities, affecting about 179 out of 100,000 individuals each year. Because of their complexity, these fractures provide serious complications for orthopedic surgeons. This work therefore analyzes tri-malleolar fractures to know the effect of prone position in relation to supine position while at the same time bearing in mind the characteristics of individual fracture, the surgeon and the patient.

Category: Ankle, Trauma Introduction/Purpose: Ankle fractures are common injuries, however isolated posterior malleolar fractures are rare. Axial loading of the foot in hyper-plantarflexion is thought to be the most likely mechanism of injury for this fracture pattern. Management of isolated posterior malleolar fractures presents challenges for clinicians, and controversy exists over surgical indications. The literature to-date examining isolated posterior malleolar fractures is scarce and confined to case reports and small clinical series. Recommendations for surgical treatment are based larg

In analogy to posterior malleolar fractures, AM fractures may extend into the tibial incisura and tibial plafond. We analyzed the pathoanatomy of AM fractures and associated injuries in ankle fractures in adults. Methods: Over a course of 9 years, 140 patients (average age 58.3 years) with 140 acute malleolar f

Abstract:

The medial malleolus, once believed to be the primary stabilizer of the ankle, has been the topic of conflicting clinical and biomechanical data for many decades. Despite the relevant surgical anatomy being understood for almost 40 years, the optimal treatment of medial malleolar fractures remains unclear, whether the injury occurs in isolation or as part of an unstable bi- or trimalleolar fracture configuration. Traditional teaching recommends open reduction and fixation of medial malleolar fractures that are part of an unstable injury. However, there is recent evidence to suggest that nonope

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Background Malleolar fractures of ankle are usually complex injuries, as they are associated with significant ligament and soft tissue injury—injury to syndesmosis and injury to medial and lateral collateral ligaments. The open reduction and internal fixation is not feasible until recovery of significant soft tissue injury and subsidence of edema. Malleolar fractures are articular fractures and have associated subluxation and dislocation of talus. The aims of treatment are to restore normal anatomy and provide sufficient stability for early movements. Malleolar fractures more often re

Abstract:

Medial malleolar fractures are traditionally treated by orthopaedic surgeons using cancellous screws, plates, and tension banding with stainless steel wires. However, a considerable proportion of these patients eventually require revision surgery or implant removal due to complications such as wire migration, impingement, breakage, and infection. Revision surgeries for previously operated malleolar fractures pose challenges due to dilated bone tracks and osteopenia which complicate securing the mechanical hold of the implant. A potential solution to mitigating these factors could be the use of

Abstract:

Maisonneuve fracture is a rare and complex ankle fracture characterized by a triad of injuries, including a medial malleolar fracture, injury to the inferior tibiofibular syndesmotic complex, and a proximal fibula fracture. This case report presents the case of a 53-year-old female who sustained a Maisonneuve fracture following a fall on the stairs. Physical examination revealed tenderness and swelling in the left ankle, and radiographs confirmed fractures of the medial and posterior malleolus of the left ankle. Despite receiving conservative treatment in the form of a plaster cast, the patien

Background: Our aim in this study was to identify the extent of the posterior inferior tibiofibular ligament (PITFL) insertion on the posterior tibia and its relation to intra-articular posterior malleolar fractures. Methods: Careful dissection was undertaken on 10 cadaveric lower limbs to identify the ligamentous structures on the posterior aspect of the ankle. The ligamentous anatomy was further compared with our ankle fracture database, specifically posterior malleolar fracture patterns, demonstrating a rotational pilon etiology (Mason and Molloy type 2A and B).

Abstract:

Objective: This study proposes a new classification of posterolateral malleolar fractures and a treatment algorithm. Methods: We divided the posterolateral malleolus, which we considered as the posterior malleolus, from the posteromedial one, which we considered as being part of the medial malleolus fracture. The experience with 77 patients treated from February 2017 to February 2020 was assessed. All of them were assessed by frontal and profile radiographies and computed tomography (CT). Among the parameters to classify these fractures, we believe the most determining ones are fracture size,

Abstract:

Background Lateral malleolar fractures (Weber type B or OTA 44-B) account for 60% of all ankle fractures. To achieve anatomic restoration, surgical stabilization provides better results than conservative treatment. Various fixation methods are available to treat these fractures; however, the best method is still unknown. Our objectives were to present a new, useful, and efficient surgical technique for stabilizing lateral malleolar fractures and to analyze the outcomes of patients treated with the compression cerclage system.

We herein report the clinical results and computed tomography (CT) findings for the articular reduction status after LTA for posterior malleolar fracture of the ankle.

Medial malleolar stress fractures are relatively uncommon injuries that can be quite debilitating and disabling. This article discusses the symptoms, diagnostic aids, pathomechanics, and management of medial malleolar stress fractures. Using three cases, the authors illustrate nonoperative versus operative treatments in an athlete and the influence of an in-season versus an off-season injury. A percutaneous cannulated screw fixation procedure is described that allowed an athlete to return to competition 24 days after sustaining a displaced medial malleolar stress fracture.

Displaced medial malleolar fractures, either in isolation or as part of an unstable ankle fracture dislocation, are conventionally treated with internal fixation. We outline the case of a 76-year-old man with diabetes presenting with a grossly deformed open ankle fracture and extruded tibia through a large medial wound. Following irrigation, wound debridement and minimally invasive fibular fixation, the medial fracture reduced anatomically. Contrary to traditional teaching, the medial malleolus was left without fixation. The patient mobilised partially weight-bearing, progressing to both clini

Twenty-one patients with unstable medial malleolar, bimalleolar, or trimalleolar ankle fractures underwent open reduction and internal fixation of the medial malleolus with 4.5-mm polyglycolide screws. All lateral malleolar fractures were internally fixed with standard metallic implants. Radiographic and clinical follow-up results were available on 16 of 21 patients. All fractures healed at an average of 3.4 months (range, 3–6 months), and there were no medial wound infections. Eight of 16 patients developed an inflammatory reaction to the biodegradable polyester at 3 to 4 months after implant
