Abstract Fractures of the medial malleolus are common, with avulsion being the main trauma mechanism. In simple transverse fractures, re- trograde fixation with interfragmentary screws is the most common means of achieving anatomical reduction and absolute stability. However, greater attention must be paid in cases of inverted oblique fractures, which make traditional fixation difficult. We report a case in which anatomical reduction and stabilization were achieved using a reduction clamp and two headless compression screws placed anteriorly, resulting in a mechanically stable, safe and effective repair.

Read Full License Page 1/12 Abstract Background: Posterior pilon fracture is a type of ankle fracture associated with poorer treatment results compared to the conventional ankle fracture. This is partly related to the lack of consensus on the classication, approach selection, and internal xation method for this type of fracture. This study aimed to investigate the clinical ecacy of posterolateral approach versus extended modied posteromedial approach for surgical treatment of posterior pilon fracture. Methods: Data of 67 patients with posterior pilon fracture who received xation with a buttress plate between January 2015 and December 2018 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients received steel plate xation through either the posterolateral approach (n = 35, group A) or the extended modied posteromedial approach (n = 32, group B). Operation time, intraoperative blood loss, excellent and good rate of reduction, fracture healing time, American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) Ankle- Hindfoot Scale score, and Visual Analogue Scale score were compared between groups A and B.

Methods This study examined 100 legs from 54 Japanese cadavers. The LTCL was classified into three types: Type I, the LTCL branches from the calcaneofibular ligament (CFL); Type II, the LTCL is independent of the CFL and runs parallel to the calcaneus; and Type III, the LTCL is absent. The morphological features measured were fiber bundle length, fiber bundle width, and fiber bundle thickness. Results The LTCL was classified as Type I in 18 feet (18%), Type II in 24 feet (24%), and Type III in 58 feet (58%). All LTCLs were associated with the anterior talofibular ligament at the talus. There was no significant difference in morphologi- cal characteristics by Type for each ligament. Conclusions The LTCL was similar to the CFL in terms of fiber bundle width and fiber bundle thickness.

  • Mcilroy's Ankle Injury Explained
    McIlroy’s Ankle Injury Explained By Eva Nugent MISCP The Anterior Talofibular Ligament is big news this week because of world number 1 golf player Rory McIlroy’s injury sustained while having a football “kick about” with friends. McIlroy reports sustaining a “total rupture of his left ATFL and damage to the associated ankle joint capsule”. This unfortunate injury has put his golf season in doubt with the Open Championship starting just next week the 16th of July. But what exactly is the ATFL? And what does the rehabilitation for this injury involve? The Anterior Talofibular Ligament is one of three ligaments that make of the lateral ligament complex of the ankle joint. It originates at the fibular malleoulus of the lateral shin bone (fibula) and runs forward to and attaches to the Talus (ankle bone). The other two ligaments are the Posterior talofibular ligament (PTFL) and the Calcaneofibular ligament (CFL). The function of these ligaments is to provide stability and support to the ankle joint. The ATFL specifically prevents the anterior translation of the shin in relation to the foot/ankle. The ATFL is the most commonly injured ankle ligament and is most vulnerable when the foot is pointing downwards and inwards as the body’s centre of gravity rolls over the ankle (plantarflexed and inverted position). This is commonly described as “going over on your ankle”. It is commonly injured in sports like football or GAA where unpredictable fast turns or cutting movements are involved. This is referred to as an ankle sprain and results in damage to the fibres of the ligament as they are overstretched.

This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. Ankle-related complaints are among the most commonly encountered problems for musculoskeletal clinicians. Ankle pathology is widely variable, including, but not limited to, fractures, deformity, infection, oncologic diseases, neuromuscular conditions, and arthritis. While nonoperative management with activity modification, bracing and/or shoe modifications, and medications is usually indicated as first line of treatment, surgical intervention may become necessary. A thorough understanding of the complex anatomy and biomechanics of the ankle, and in particular, the potential neurovascular structures that may be encountered, is important to reduce complications and obtain good surgical outcomes. The purpose of this review is to discuss the most common open and arthroscopic exposures to the ankle with a focus on surgically relevant anatomy for each approach. 1. Introduction ankle techniques including miniopen approaches and ankle arthroscopyhavebecomemorecommonlyused.Thepurpose Symptoms and complaints regarding the ankle are some of this review is to discuss the most common open and of the most commonly encountered problems seen by arthroscopic exposures used in the surgical treatment of musculoskeletal care providers.

  • The Double Fascicular Variations of the Anterior Talofibular Ligament and The
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN The double fascicular variations of the anterior talofbular ligament and the calcaneofbular ligament correlate with interconnections between lateral ankle structures revealed on magnetic resonance imaging Paweł Szaro 1,2*, Khaldun Ghali Gataa2, Mateusz Polaczek3 & Bogdan Ciszek4 The anterior talofbular ligament and the calcaneofbular ligament are the most commonly injured ankle ligaments. This study aimed to investigate if the double fascicular anterior talofbular ligament and the calcaneofbular ligament are associated with the presence of interconnections between those two ligaments and connections with non-ligamentous structures. A retrospective re-evaluation of 198 magnetic resonance imaging examinations of the ankle joint was conducted. The correlation between the double fascicular anterior talofbular ligament and calcaneofbular ligament and connections with the superior peroneal retinaculum, the peroneal tendon sheath, the tibiofbular ligaments, and the inferior extensor retinaculum was studied. The relationships between the anterior talofbular ligament’s and the calcaneofbular ligament’s diameters with the presence of connections were investigated. Most of the connections were visible in a group of double fascicular ligaments. Most often, one was between the anterior talofbular ligament and calcaneofbular ligament (74.7%). Statistically signifcant diferences between groups of single and double fascicular ligaments were visible in groups of connections between the anterior talofbular ligament
