Approximately 50% of fractures occur before the patient is two years of age, when toddlers begin learning to walk. [1] [8] CPT is characterized by persistent nonunion because of fractures of the tibia and the presence of fibrous tissue between parts of the fractured bone.
Toddler's fractures are bone fractures of the distal (lower) part of the shin bone in toddlers (aged 9 months-3 years) and other young children (less than 8 years). [1] The fracture is found in the distal two thirds of the tibia in 95% of cases, [ 1 ] is undisplaced and has a spiral pattern.
A tib-fib fracture is a fracture of both the tibia and fibula of the same leg in the same incident. In 78% of cases, a fracture of the fibula is associated with a tibial fracture. [6] Since the fibula is smaller and weaker than the tibia, a force strong enough to fracture the tibia often fractures the fibula as well. Types include:
A child bone fracture or a pediatric fracture is a medical condition in which a bone of a child (a person younger than the age of 18) is cracked or broken. [1] About 15% of all injuries in children are fracture injuries. [2] Bone fractures in children are different from adult bone fractures because a child's bones are still growing. Also, more ...
Ankle fractures may result from excessive stress on the joint such as from rolling an ankle or from blunt trauma. [1] [2] Types of ankle fractures include lateral malleolus, medial malleolus, posterior malleolus, bimalleolar, and trimalleolar fractures. [1] The Ottawa ankle rule can help determine the need for X-rays. [2]
Fracture of the medial malleolus seen on X-ray scan (left ankle) Common symptoms of a Maisonneuve fracture are pain, swelling, tenderness, and bruising around the ankle joint and inferior (or distal) tibiofibular joint. More specifically, as a pronation-external rotation injury, pain during external rotation of the ankle joint is expected.
Detroit Pistons guard Jaden Ivey was enjoying a career year, which will now have to be put on hold. The 2022 fifth overall pick underwent surgery on Thursday to repair a broken fibula in his left ...
This is a medial tibial plateau fracture with a split or depressed component. It is usually the result of a high energy injury and involves a varus force with axial loading at the knee. Represent 10% of all tibial plateau fractures. There is high risk of damage to the popliteal artery and peroneal nerve and therefore carry a worse prognosis.
