Isolated posterior malleolus fracture: a rare injury mechanism
Sprain of the ankle is undoubtedly a common injury during athletic activity, and the sprain can be also associated with fracture of the ankle. Isolated posterior malleolus fracture is a very rare condition, which is usually missed. Here, we are presenting a 37 years old female patient, who suffered injury secondary pressing on brake pedal during collision in a traffic accident. Clinical evaluat...
متن کاملPosterolateral approach for treatment of posterior malleolus fracture of the ankle.
Treatment of the posterior malleolus has been debated among orthopedic surgeons. Most orthopedic surgeons will fix the posterior malleolus if it is larger than 25% to 30% of the distal articular surface. The most common method of fixation of the posterior malleolus is by indirect reduction and anteroposterior screws. In the present study, we describe the technique and results of treatment of th...
متن کاملOperative versus non-operative treatment of posterior malleolus fragment in trimalleolar fracture: a retrospective cohort study
Introduction: The treatment of Posterior Malleolus (PM) fracture in trimalleolar surgery is still controversial. Fixation of PM is determined according to joint congruency and posterior fragment size. When the ratio of posterior fragment is less than 25% of anteroposterior dimension of the articular surface, conservative treatment is suggested in the literature. The aim of this study was to eva...
متن کاملEvaluation of the role of posterior malleolus fixation in trimalleolar ankle fractures: a prospective study
Ankle fractures are among the most common injuries treated by orthopaedic surgeons. 1 Most of the rotational ankle fracture mechanisms described by Lauge-Hansen can lead to posterior malleolar fractures by avulsion of the posterior tibial fibular ligament especially the posterior external rotation (PER) injury. Trimalleolar fractures are known to have a worse prognosis than bimalleolar fracture...
متن کاملAnatomical factors affecting the selection of an operative approach for fibular fractures involving the posterior malleolus
Several operative approaches are available at present for the exposure and fixation of distal fibular fractures combined with posterior malleolus fractures. The present study was designed to study the anatomical characteristics of the distal fibula and to thereby evaluate the advantages and limitations of various operative approaches, as well as their indications for specific conditions. Ten le...
