Lateral Trans-malleolar Approach for Posterior Malleolar Fractures of the Ankle for Articular and Syndesmosis Reduction: A Retrospective Study
نویسندگان
چکیده
The lateral transmalleolar approach (LTA), a surgical for posterior malleolar fractures (PMFs), provides direct visualization of the articular surface malleolus, though temporarily disrupting syndesmosis. It is still unclear whether this fibrous joint can be effectively reconstructed afterward to prevent complications. We report clinical results and computed tomography (CT) findings syndesmosis reduction status after surgery with LTA PMF.

While it is well known that ankle sprains are one of the most common injuries in the United States, predictive factors regarding failure of conservative treatment are not well known. There are many biomechanical and epidemiological factors that play a role in recurrence and failure of conservative treatment, but most cases are able to be treated with immobilization and/or rest, ice, elevation, ...
متن کاملPosterior Malleolar Fractures
Posterior malleolar fractures are a common component of ankle fractures. Between 7 and 44% of all ankle fractures involve the posterior malleolus (1). This type of fracture often arises from rotational injury and rarely occurs in isolation. The morphology of the fracture can be variable. A secondary type of posterior malleolar fracture is the posterior pilon variant. This involves a majority of...
متن کاملOperative Treatment of Posterior Malleolar Fractures
Fractures of the posterior malleolus can occur in conjunction with fibular and medial malleolar fractures or in isolation. The indications for fixation of the posterior malleolus remain controversial except for the fragment sizes. A number of different surgical approaches and techniques for internal fixation of posterior malleolar fractures have been reported. Newer techniques such as direct ex...

BACKGROUND We assessed the frequency and types of ankle fractures that frequently occur during parachute landings of special operation unit personnel and analyzed the causes. METHODS Fifty-six members of the special force brigade of the military who had sustained ankle fractures during parachute landings between January 2005 and April 2010 were retrospectively analyzed. The injury sites and f...
متن کاملComparison of the direct and indirect reduction techniques during the surgical management of posterior malleolar fractures
BACKGROUND The optimal method for the reduction and fixation of posterior malleolar fracture (PMF) remains inconclusive. Currently, both of the indirect and direct reduction techniques are widely used. We aimed to compare the reduction quality and clinical outcome of posterior malleolar fracture managed with the direct reduction technique through posterolateral approach or the indirect reductio...
