BMJ Case Rep Published online: [please include Day Month Year] doi:10.1136/ bcr-2013-009038 DESCRIPTION A 17-year-old boy with Haemophilia A was referred to an orthopaedic surgeon with pain and swelling in the right ankle. His medical history included incidents of right ankle trauma. On physical examination, there was swelling and increasing te...

OBJECTIVES The treatment of severe post-traumatic ankle arthritis remains a challenge nowadays. Since patients suffering from this pathology are mainly young and active people, a correct reconstruction, if possible, of the articular cartilage defects of the tibiotalar joint is very important to achieve a good result. Fresh bipolar osteochondral allograft (FBOA) is a promising operative techniqu...

introduction anterior talofibular ligament (atfl) rupture is the most commonly injured anatomic structure in lateral ankle sprain. in some cases, atfl avulsion fracture from the lateral malleolus may occur instead of purely ligamentous injuries. the atfl avulsion fracture is detected as a small ossicle at the tip of lateral malleolus on direct radiographs, which is called os subfibulare in chro...

OBJECTIVES Tibiotalar (TT) arthrodesis is still a very important option in the treatment of primary or post-traumatic arthritis of the ankle but persists the controversy regarding the optimal method for the fixation of the arthrodesis site. No matter the implant used, the goal is to obtain a solid, healthy, pain-free fusion. The purpose of the current study is to present the preliminary results...

As a result of these findings we are performing a prospective study. Preliminary analysis of the first 15 ankles confirms the clinical overdiagnosis of tibiotalar synovitis and underdiagnosis of tendon involvement. Conclusion In JIA with ankle disease, 39% of cases the main ankle joint was not involved and tenosynovitis, sometimes in isolation, was the dominant finding. This has implications fo...

Acute or repetitive trauma to the ankle can result in painful restriction of movement caused by impingement of soft tissue and osseous structures. Ankle impingement syndromes are classified according to their anatomic relationship to the tibiotalar joint. This article reviews the relevant anatomy, etiology, and clinical features of ankle impingement syndromes, and demonstrates the potential ima...
