(OBQ08.216) In the Lauge-Hansen classification system, a pronation-abduction ankle fracture has what characteristic fibular fracture pattern? J Orthop Surg Hong Kong ; With a negative stress image obtained in the office, how would you treat this patient? Past medical history includes insulin dependent diabetes mellitus for 35 years. A radiograph of her ankle is shown in Figure A. 4 —Chopart fracture-dislocation in 27-year-old woman after twisting ankle injury. rare; total dislocation (extruded talus) talus is completely dislocated from ankle and subtalar and talonavicular joints; results from continuation of forces required for medial or lateral dislocation with disruption of talocrural ligaments and extrusion of talus from ankle joint; usually open; Presentation Fig. Which of the bone fragments labeled on the distal tibia in the axial CT scan shown in Figure A is attached to the posterior inferior tibiofibular ligament? Most commonly affecting the anterior aspect of the vertebral body, wedge fractures are considered a single-column (i.e. A Lisfranc injury is a tarsometatarsal fracture dislocation characterized by traumatic disruption between the articulation of the medial cuneiform and base of the second metatarsal. History reveals that he sustained a left ankle fracture 2 years ago and was treated with closed reduction and casting. in Lauge-Hansen supination-adduction fractures, estoration of marginal impaction of the anteromedial tibial plafond, leads to optimal functional results after surgery, time for proper braking response time (driving) returns to baseline at nine weeks for operatively treated ankle fractures, braking travel time is significantly increased until 6 weeks after initiation of weight bearing in both long bone and periarticular fractures of the lower extremity, deep deltoid inserts on posterior colliculus, lag screw fixation stronger if placed perpendicular to fracture line, lag by technique using 3.5 fully-threaded screw is biomechanically superior to lag by design using 4.0 partially-threaded screws, if the mortise is well reduced, results from operative and non-operative treatment are similar, can be treated operatively if also treating an ipsilateral syndesmosis injury, lag screw fixation with neutralization plating, most common disadvantage of using posterior antiglide plating is peroneal irritation if the plate is placed too distally, posterior antiglide plating is biomechanically superior to lateral plate placement, intramedullary retrograde screw placement, possible if fibula is a spiral pattern and screws can be placed at least 1 cm apart, the stiffest fixation construct for the fibula is a locking plate, period of immobilization usually 4-6 weeks after ORIF, duration of immobilization should be doubled in, need to fix with one of the options listed in section above, antiglide plate to treat a vertical medial malleolus fracture, orient screws parallel to joint for vertical medial malleolar fracture (Lauge-Hansen supination-adduction fracture pattern), stiffness of syndesmosis restored to 70% normal with isolated fixation of posterior malleolus (versus 40% with isolated, stress examination of syndesmosis still required after posterior malleolar fixation, posteroinferior tibiofibular ligament may remain attached to posterior malleolus and syndesmotic stability may be restored with isolated posterior malleolar fixation, rare fracture-dislocation of the ankle where the fibula becomes entrapped behind the tibia and becomes irreducible, posterolateral ridge of the distal tibia hinders reduction of the fibula, open reduction and fixation of the fibula in the incisura fibularis, fracture-dislocation of the ankle due to hyperplantarflexion, indicated if soft tissue conditions allow, primary closure at the index procedure can be performed in appropriately-selected Gustilo-Anderson grade I, II, and IIIA open fractures in otherwise healthy patients sustaining low-energy injuries without gross contamination, soft tissue conditions and overall patient characteristics, fixation usually not required when fibula fracture within 4.5 cm of plafond, up to 25% of tibial shaft fractures will have ankle injury (highest rate with distal 1/3 spiral fractures), lateral stress radiograph has more interobserver reliability than an AP/mortise stress film, best option is to assess stability intraoperatively with, instability of the syndesmosis is greatest in the anterior-posterior direction, largest risk factor for diabetic patients is presence of peripheral neuropathy, high suspicion for articular impaction of the tibial plafond in supination-adduction injuries, which should be addressed at the time of surgery, corrective osteotomy requires anatomic fibular and mortise correction for optimal outcomes, Loss of dorsiflexion with posterior fixation, rare with anatomic reduction and fixation.
