متن کاملMorphological characteristics of the posterior malleolar fragment according to ankle fracture patterns: a computed tomography-based study
BACKGROUND The posterior malleolar fragment (PMF) of an ankle fracture can have various shapes depending on the injury mechanism. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the morphological characteristics of the PMF according to the ankle fracture pattern described in the Lauge-Hansen classification by using computed tomography (CT) images. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed CT data of 107 ...

متن کاملMedial Malleolar Insufficiency Fracture of the Ankle in an Elderly Patient with Osteoporosis
Insufficiency fracture is a type of stress fracture, which is the result of normal stresses on abnormal bone. Postmenopausal osteoporosis is the most common cause of insufficiency fractures. An early diagnosis is best made with a bone scan or magnetic resonance imaging, as radiographs may initially appear normal. Insufficiency fractures of the lower leg and ankle are less common. Furthermore, r...
متن کاملCase Report: Closed Posteromedial Dislocation of the Ankle without Medial Malleolar Fracture
Closed ankle dislocation without associated fractures of malleoli is a very rare condition and has been reported sparsely in literatures. We present two cases of this type of injury. All patients were treated conservatively with immediate closed reduction and immobilization in a short leg slab. Mechanism of injury, MRI findings, management, functional outcome and possible complications were dis...
