<p class="abstract">Trimalleolar fracture are complex and challenging to treat. We conducted a study on 15 patients with trimalleolar fracture. Fractures were classified based Lauge Hansen classification. They treated open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) plate screws for posterior malleolus lateral malleolus, tension band wire (TBW)/cannulated cancellous (CC) screw medial functional ra...

BACKGROUND The distally based sural artery flap is a reliable, local reconstructive option for small soft tissue defects of the distal third of the leg. The purpose of this study is to describe an adipofascial flap based on a single sural nerve branch without sacrificing the entire sural nerve, thereby preserving sensibility of the lateral foot. METHODS The posterior aspect of the lower limb ...

Cutaneous horn is a horn-like keratotic lesion, which commonly occurs on the head and face, over a wide range of benign or malignant skin lesions. Callosity is a hyperkeratotic plaque produced by intermittent or continuous pressure on the skin. Lateral aspects of the ankles (Lateral malleoli) are frequently involved. We report a rare case of cutaneous horn developed on ankle callosity.

Introduction: Maisonneuve’s fracture is named after the French surgeon who first described it in 1840. This injury rare and characterized by a combination of ipsilateral fibula an to medial structures ankle, there may also be rupture syndesmosis, tibiofibular deltoid ligament, followed anteroinferior ligament interosseous membrane. Case Report: A 70-year-old female patient reported pain right l...

A healthy 19-year-old male presented with complaints of right ankle pain. Twelve hours before, he had jumped off a skateboard, inverting and abrading his right ankle. He noted continued bleeding from the injury and difficulty bearing weight. He had a 1-cm puncture-type wound anterolateral to his lateral malleolus with oozing blood. There was a large hematoma and diffuse tenderness to palpation ...

Seventy-six patients (83 ankles) with chronic lateral instability of the ankle were treated by a simple reconstructive operation, namely, a subperiosteal release on the distal part of the lateral malleolus. The released flap, including the insertion of both the anterior talofibular and the calcaneofibular ligaments, was reattached to the malleolus more proximally. Seventy-five patients (82 ankl...
