  2. Maisonneuve fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maisonneuve_fracture

    The Maisonneuve fracture is a spiral fracture of the proximal third of the fibula associated with a tear of the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis and the interosseous membrane. There is an associated fracture of the medial malleolus or rupture of the deep deltoid ligament of the ankle .

  3. Bosworth fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bosworth_fracture

    The injury is most commonly treated by open reduction internal fixation as closed reduction is made difficult by the entrapment of the fibula behind the tibia. [1] The entrapment of an intact fibula behind the tibia was described by Ashhurst and Bromer in 1922, who attributed the description of the mechanism of injury to Huguier's 1848 ...

  4. Danis–Weber classification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danis–Weber_classification

    The Danis–Weber classification (often known just as the Weber classification) is a method of describing ankle fractures. It has three categories: [1] Type A. Fracture of the fibula distal to the syndesmosis (the connection between the distal ends of the tibia and fibula). Typical features: below level of the ankle joint; tibiofibular ...

  5. Ankle fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ankle_fracture

    The Danis-Weber classification categorizes ankle fractures by the level of the fracture of the distal fibula (type A = below the syndesmotic ligament, type B = at its level, type C = above the ligament), with use in assessing injury to the syndesmosis and the interosseous membrane; Other classification schemes:

  6. Crus fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crus_fracture

    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:

  7. Ottawa ankle rules - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ottawa_ankle_rules

    Ankle X-ray is only required if: There is any pain in the malleolar zone; and, Any one of the following: Bone tenderness along the distal 6 cm of the posterior edge of the tibia or tip of the medial malleolus, OR; Bone tenderness along the distal 6 cm of the posterior edge of the fibula or tip of the lateral malleolus, OR

  8. Broström procedure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broström_procedure

    - make anterior capsular incision, leaving a small cuff of tissue, identify the calcaneofibular ligament (CFL) at the inferior tip of the fibula;ankle is then placed in valgus and dorsiflexion, and the redundancy of the ligament is assessed; sutures are passed through the proximal edges of the ATFL and CFL; drill holes are made in the distal ...

  9. Pilon fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilon_fracture

    A pilon fracture, is a fracture of the distal part of the tibia, involving its articular surface at the ankle joint. Pilon fractures are caused by rotational or axial forces, mostly as a result of falls from a height or motor vehicle accidents. Pilon fractures are rare, comprising 3 to 10 percent of all fractures of the tibia and 1 percent of ...
