  2. Ankle fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ankle_fracture

    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]

  3. Bimalleolar fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bimalleolar_fracture

    A bimalleolar fracture is a fracture of the ankle that involves the lateral malleolus and the medial malleolus. Studies have shown [1] that bimalleolar fractures are more common in women, people over 60 years of age, and patients with existing comorbidities. [1]

  4. Trimalleolar fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trimalleolar_fracture

    A trimalleolar fracture is a fracture of the ankle that involves the lateral malleolus, the medial malleolus, and the distal posterior aspect of the tibia, which can be termed the posterior malleolus. The trauma is sometimes accompanied by ligament damage and dislocation. [1]

  5. Malleolus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malleolus

    A bimalleolar fracture is a fracture of the ankle that involves the lateral malleolus and the medial malleolus. Studies have shown [ 3 ] that bimalleolar fractures are more common in women, people over 60 years of age, and patients with existing comorbidities.

  6. Danis–Weber classification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danis–Weber_classification

    medial malleolus occasionally fractured; usually stable: occasionally nonetheless requires an open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) particularly if medial malleolus fractured; Type B. 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

  7. Pott's fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pott's_fracture

    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.

  8. 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. This type of injury can be difficult to detect. [1] [2]

  9. Crus fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crus_fracture

    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: Trimalleolar fracture - involving the lateral malleolus, medial malleolus and the distal posterior aspect of the ...
