According to the lauge Hansen’s classification five different types can be seen. The surgical treatment of adduction, abduction and supination external rotation type of injuries leading to bimalleolar fractures can be fixed with either tension band technique or cancellous screws. Here we are done a study to evaluate the benefits of tension band wiring technique in the management of bimalleolar fractures of the ankle. In our study, 40 cases of bimalleolar fracture of ankle joint of above mentioned types were admitted in Department of Orthopaedics, between February 2009 and November 2013 was included. We included patients above 20 and below 58 years. We excluded patients with pronation external rotation, vertical compression and trimalleolar fractures, pathological fractures, compound fractures and who are medically unfit and at extremely high anaesthesia risk.

Subject: Bone Growth Stimulators- Medical Necessity Criteria Ultrasound Page 1 of 8 Origination Date: 01/07 Revision Date(s): 1/08, 1/09, 2/11, 1/12, 09/12, 07/13, 06/14, 09/14, 05/15, 07/15 Developed By: Medical Criteria Committee 01/07 Approved: Mary Engrav, MD Date: 05/27/2015 Description: Bone growth stimulation is a technique of promoting bone growth in difficult to heal fractures. Two types of bone growth stimulators currently exist: electrical and ultrasonic. Ultrasonic fracture healing is a noninvasive treatment that utilizes low intensity, pulsed ultrasound delivered through a skin surface transducer placed directly over the fracture site. It is used to accelerate healing of fresh fractures and fracture nonunions of sites that are difficult to heal because of poor vascular supply. It is frequently used in conjunction with orthopedic treatments such as a cast or splint. The device is portable and can be used by the patient at home in daily 20 minute sessions. The Sonic Accelerated Fracture Healing System (SAFHS) is a type of ultrasound bone growth stimulator. Criteria: I. Ultrasonic Bone Growth Stimulators (CWQI HCS-0008A) A. Ultrasonic bone growth stimulators will be covered to plan limitations for skeletally mature individuals when 1 or more of the following criteria are met: 1. Fresh Acute Fractures a. Most fresh fractures heal with the use of standard fracture care such as closed reduction and cast immobilization. Ultrasonic bone growth stimulators may be indicated for the treatment of fresh fractures when 1 (one) or more of the following risk factors for delayed fracture healing or nonunion are present: i.

Lower extremity fracture eponyms (Part 2) Philip Kin-Wai Wong1, Tarek N Hanna2*, Waqas Shuaib3, Stephen M Sanders4 and Faisal Khosa2 Abstract Eponymous extremity fractures are commonly encountered in the emergency setting. Correct eponym usage allows rapid, succinct communication of complex injuries. We review both common and less frequently encountered extremity fracture eponyms, focusing on imaging features to identify and differentiate these injuries. We focus on plain radiographic findings, with supporting computed tomography (CT) images. For each injury, important radiologic descriptors are discussed which may need to be communicated to clinicians. Aspects of management and follow-up imaging recommendations are included. This is a two-part review: Part 1 focuses on fracture eponyms of the upper extremity, while Part 2 encompasses fracture eponyms of the lower extremity. Keywords: Eponyms; Fractures; Lower extremities; Imaging Introduction Review: Lower extremity fracture eponyms Eponyms are embedded throughout medicine; they Pipkin fracture can be found in medical literature, textbooks, and Femoral head fractures are relatively uncommon and even mass media.

The medial malleolus fracture can be fracture component that will include both the anterior an isolated injury but is more commonly associated with a and posterior colliculus.
