– Discussion: – usually involves a supination-adduction injury; – frequently does well w/ closed reduction; – if frx in fibula is transverse, it is type I avulsion fibular frx; – since syndesmotic ligaments are intact, ankle mortise is also stable; – type A: fibula fracture … Read more
– Discussion: – is taken in line with the long axis of the foot; – entire fibula should be included if there is lateral joint tenderness above the joint line; – this view is used to evaluate medial & lateral malleolus anterolateral tibia and proximal fibula; – osteochondral frx of distal tibia and talus; … Read more
– See: – Radiographic Evaluation – Blood Supply to Talus – Discussion: – may occur following talar neck fractures or may be atraumatic (from SLE, diabetes, MS ect); – absence of subchondral bone atrophy in talar dome on x-ray after 6 weeks following fracture implies AVN (see Hawkins Sign); – however, there is not direct correlation between development of AVN … Read more
– Discussion: – fibular plate can be positioned posteriorly as an antiglide plate to resist proximal migration and rotation of distal fragement; – the antiglide plate is chiefly indicated for Weber B fractures; – advantages: – distal screws obtain better purchase, since … Read more

– Definition: – medial plateau of the tibia rotating excessively forward & externally on femur as the joint opens on the medial side; – torn structures: – MCL; – posterior oblique ligament; – ACL; … Read more

– See: – Antibiotic Menu – Osteomyelitis – Perioperative Prophylactic Antibiotics: – the main question we need to ask is what are we trying to accomplish? – obviously we want a strategy that prevents the infection of MRSA, MSSA, staph epi, and anaerobic infections; – giving ancef alone, … Read more
– Discussion: – allows acces to ankle joint, talus, & other tarsal bones and joints; – it does not allow access to the navicular and 2nd and 1st cuniforms; – avoids all of the important vessels and nerves; – dissection procedes between the peroneus tertius (deep peroneal nerve) and the peroneus brevis (superficial peroneal … Read more
– Discussion: – defined as excessive forward rotation of tibial plateau w/ excessive lateral opening of the joint; – there is excessive internal rotation of tibia on femur in flexion; – as knee extends, subluxation is reduced by the bony stability, and a jerk is noted … Read more
