The Orthopaedic Trauma Association Committee for Coding and Classification initially published their classification system covering the whole skeleton in 1996. [5] In 2006 [6] they published a revision, unifying the Muller/AO and OTA systems into a single alphanumeric classification, which has been further updated in 2018: [7]
Hecht Scott syndrome effects the tibia and fibula. [1] Common physical symptoms show a short leg, the ankle and foot being short and deformed, absence of rays and bowing of the tibia . [ 4 ] Another physical symptom is the presence of contralateral oligosyndactyly of the hand. [ 1 ]
Fracture of the fibula at the level of the syndesmosis. Typical features: at the level of the ankle joint, extending superiorly and laterally up the fibula; tibiofibular syndesmosis intact or only partially torn, but no widening of the distal tibiofibular articulation; medial malleolus may be fractured or deltoid ligament may be torn; variable ...
A fractured fibula in addition to detaching the medial malleolus will tear the tibiofibular syndesmosis. [2] The combined fracture of the medial malleolus, lateral malleolus, and the posterior margin of the distal end of the tibia is known as a "trimalleolar fracture". [3] An example of Pott's fracture would be in a sports tackling injury.
Dysplastic appearance to the fibula. Pseudarthrosis can be located on either of the two bones of the tibial segment. The prognosis is good if the lesion is located only on the fibula, extension to the tibia has a prognosis similar to type II VI Associated with an intraosseous fibroma or a schwannoma. The prognosis depends on the aggressiveness ...
The bones that make up the knee are the femur, patella, tibia, and fibula. In the posterolateral corner, the bony landmarks of the tibia, fibula and femur serve as the attachment sites of the ligaments and tendons that stabilize this portion of the knee. The patella plays no significant role in the posterolateral corner.
To account for the distal fibula being slightly posterior to the distal tibia, drill holes are angled at 30° from the anteromedial aspect of the tibia to the posterolateral aspect of the fibula. [4] [12] [15] Trans-syndesmotic screws can be inserted in this way to ensure tibia fixation. Additional supra-syndesmotic screws may be temporarily ...
